Criticism and comments welcomed.
It's a beauty. The only thing I can say is that it's cropped a little tight. But other then that that is a great shot.
Thanks, tramsey!
Is this version better or worse?
I don't mind the open composition. It may be the compression on the way the board shows images, but it looks out of focus to me.
On the second one, there are a number of places you either missed blurring the background or got the edges of the petals; In this case, I prefer the original. You could try to crop out the area to the right (along the edge of the petals) - maybe a square format.
