I see that you are employing the rule of third to compose this shot. Exposure is quite good considering the subject is white. In my opinion, this is tough shot. Why? Because this lily is so common looking that it is very difficult to make it an extraordinary shot.

Well-planned and well-executed composition.

nice composition, but you could've taken it at a better time of the day to give better lighting effects.

Thanks for your comments. What kind of lighting effects are you referring to?

One feedback I have is that the highlights are totally blown off and there is no texture on the flower. I understand the dynamic range of the scene was too high to capture on the digicam you were using. The solution is to take two shots, one correctly exposing for the highlights and the second for the shadows and combine it digitally using PS. A tripod essential, of course, for that. See an article in www.fredmiranda.com for a discussion on that.
