Too underlit in this iteration. Some fill light or a longer exposure might have made this a worthy effort.

Thanks George for the comments, I appreciate all the help I can get. I have been taking photos for years, but never mastered it yet. I'm working on it.

I agree with George... moving to the left would help . In my view, it would help also because the flower is "looking" in that direction. I am not sure that I convey the point clearly so let me draw an analogy... if you are shooting a chetah running, there should be space in the photo in the direction in which he is running and not behind him. Similarly people looking in a direction should be placed in the photo such that one sees what they are looking at. In exactly the same way, the flower is blooming towards the left and there should have been space in front of it and not behind.

This is a beautiful blossom, all right. Good to see the yellow bloom instead of the more common red. Since you're looking for suggestions in this category, I will offer a couple: 1.) Composition--panning to the left would have eliminated the stem with the bud that leads the eye away from the blossom and competes with the curved line of the stamen. 2.) Rendering: The image is a bit flat and dull. While it is very attractive, it doesn't quite capture the brilliance of the plant. Increasing the brightness and a bit of sharpening would would very well with this dramatic subject.
Best of luck,
--George
