On this one, I kinda liked the color contrast. But “tight” might have been better? RJM

IMO close crop vs. wider view (which can be about color contrast as you suggest, RJM, or the surroundings/context) should be determined by what you want to share and show.On this one, I kinda liked the color contrast. But “tight” might have been better? RJM
I like this photo's composition, but I am curious what a whiter/brighter flower (not much, just a skosh) would do for the look.
ps - Six out of the most recent nine of Old Hippy's are not close crops. What I think of when his name is mentioned is his frequent use of black or very dark backgrounds, which make for striking artistry.
pps - when I read your "oops," I fixed the reference in your opening and deleted your second comment 😇

Not necessarily. It depends on personal taste, subject, etc. For this one, I like the looser crop, Bob, and it's a lovely image!
