Yes, yes, too much space on the right but a rectagular frame can also do!

The flower can do with a bit more depth of field.

Just my opinion.

i find the background too "black". Personally I find looking at this kind of flowers give me calm and peace, but the black background seem like giving me an weird feeling. composition is rather ok, it is how you wanna interpret this picture to the reader, as long you follow the one-third rule. but just that I find the flower and background do not "get" together

just my personal feel

Actually the green in the center is a little too much. There's a feel to the colours that makes it all seem too overtly processed. The composition is also off. I'd probably would've gone closer or wider, or forgo the shot in the first place.

there was no colour processing on that shot, it came out like that on the camera
