I've been reading UHH for quite some time now, but this is my first post, and one of my first attempts at a flower. The wife liked this one, so I cropped it a bit, and gave it to her on a 16x20 canvas for x-mas. What's here is SOOC, shot with a D7500 and 18-140mm, held in my right hand, while holding a wirelessly triggered SB-700 speedlight at roughly 90 degrees in my left. ISO 100, 1/60, f/4.5, 45mm focal length, and TTL flash. I was with the family and relatives and had to shoot quick, so I'm pretty pleased with how this one came out.
Let me know what you think. Constructive criticism is welcomed.

That is a really great start and composition! The light is a bit too bright and harsh. Try shooting it again (or similar) on a totally overcast day with little wind and see if the results are not much more pleasing to you. Even better yet is the calm right after a rain shower if it is not too windy.
