Composite that doesn't seem right

I find the smaller frame more appealing, though the color is not. I think we probably just don't have the same colors on our monitors, or maybe it's my eyes (cataract surgery next year) 
Many thanks!
Many thanks!
Ok. Good success for you in your surgery!
Well, there is no saying that your monitor is not more accurate than mine, though.

Let me try to clarify what I printed. You mentioned it was a composite. In trying to separate it from the background. Well you did a really good job. It didn’t come off a composite as far as I am concerned. The flowers attached to the stem works for me.
As for the placement of the flowers on them stem, it looks real to me.

Ok, thank you.
The stem and florets are the "as is"....the placements are just as they were photographed.
The compositing aspect was my isolating them from the original background and building up around them.

What strikes you on the color?
Lighter or darker tone of framing would be more appealing?

I'm send you an example by pm. I can never remember what each of the following terms mean, but one of those (I'm pretty sure) is not working with the xxx of the colors in your image. What I sent you are examples of colors pulled from the image itself, though the green I changed slightly.What strikes you on the color?

saturation, brightness, hue, shades, tints, tones
Here's one suggestion from a website. There are tons of information on color matching - which should be ignored if you like what you have! 🥰
choose a frame color that complements the dominant colors after determining which ones are present in the image. The goal is to pick a hue that complements rather than contrasts with the dominant colors in the image. For instance, a warm-colored frame, such as one in gold, oak or maple, may be appropriate if the photograph's prominent colors are warm hues like red, orange, or yellow. Similarly, a cool-colored frame like silver or black may work well if the photograph's prominent colors are cool hues like blue, green, or purple.

Thanks for that.
Whether there is not enough negative space to the left is part of what I kept debating. I didn't find putting it more centered really cleared my questioning, either, though.
I don't know if I saw too many variations as I was working on it, and maybe just the setting it aside a while may be the thing that can help get a 'fresh look' at it, and resolve some uncertainties.

Putting more centered is not what occurred to me; rather, I thought of changes the aspect ratio, leaving the negative space to the right as is, and increasing the negative space to the left. Of course, until you try it, you won't know, and neither would I.

Ok, thanks. I believe I've got a better idea now of your thought on a shift in the balance. I'll have to work with that, too, when I get back to this, after I give my eyes and mind a few days away from it.

I think the balance is well handled and I like the image without any frame best.

I am iffy about the frame, and, to me at least, the placement would be more pleasing if the flowers were more centered, eliminating the extra blank space on the right.

I believe the amount of negative space to the right has been a big part of my uncertainty with the balance/imbalance.
I'll look back at this portrait attempt in a few days (or weeks) when I can hopefully approach it with a bit more fresh look. I think I hit some mental blocks with it, by too much time on it without pulling away for a reset.
