I find it appealing...in a collage sort of way. This is one that might look really cool if you could sort of three d it out a bit.

First of all, I do like this kind of stuff, and I think this has potential.

And before I go on, this suggestion: crop, and keep roughly the left third of this in a pleasing proportion, and you may have a nice image there.

I would work toward a balanced composition with either a clearer center of interest, or a better distribution of shapes and colors if you are mainly trying to generate a pleasing pattern. I would also recommend a better distribution of shapes and colors if you can manage it. The yellow flower by itself, so far to the left, is uncomfortable to me. Likewise the bright red flower, so close to the edge, feels awkward. The white flowers feel like the are in front of everything, when they should be background items...both because they are out of focus, and because they can't compete with the visual power of of the red flower, which they seem to "block"

I hope you see what I'm driving at, and that you find this helpful.

Thanks for your comments. Photoshop works are all experiments, some turn out good, and some not. Here is the original background photo.

Thank you for your critique. This is a learning experience. Here is another PS layered flower that I think is better composed.

This is fun. And yes, this composition works better, I think.
