I love the black background and the light. I'm having problems with the composition, however; it seems disjointed. For me, a tall narrow aspect of just the left side offers more impact.

Linda,
Thank you for your comments. I thought the sort'a circular look was pleasing but I will try your suggestion and repost.

Appreciated. Now I notice the stem on the left that ends abruptly in space 
I think the circular look is a nice idea, but maybe there's just a skosh too much empty space in the middle. I don't know if you've seen the occasional share topics about "flipping" but when I reverse your original horizontally, it is more pleasing. I'm not sure I can even express why
Many thanks!

The stem ends in mid air because my wife had tied them up after a good rain and I pp'd them out...
Thanks again for your comments, Linda

I flipped it and cropped it from the bottom to remove the disappearing stem...
Here's a rhododendron I I messed with too.

Ohhh, love that zoom-blurred rhoddy! I also like the crop and flip of the iris shot. In some ways it's becoming more strongly and simply about color and form. Thanks!I flipped it and cropped it from the bottom to remove the disappearing stem...

An interesting back and forth between you and Linda that produced some worthy edits. I like the vertical arrangement best. I think when you black things out, it lends itself to a 'less is more" type of composition. I also like the zoom blur. That is an effect that I try to work with a lot. Sometimes with success... mostly shots worth of the delete button.
