Another soft one! Is that from pp? I like it!

Not crazy about this one raiven. The yellow is too muted here for me, and there is a softness issue here as kat pointed out. I'd like to have seen that central flower sharper.
Hope that helps - Marko

"You have to milk the cow quite a lot, and get plenty of milk to get a little cheese." Henri Cartier-Bresson from The Decisive Moment.
Agree with marko; the image appears significantly under-exposed and overall, rather muddy. I'll also add that while I like composition of this image, I think it could have been improved if you had lowered the camera slightly so that the bud at the bottom was completely in the image and there was slightly less space at the top.
I agree with Tirediron and Marco. Perhaps rotating you camera clock wise to include the bud on the bottom. That may help balance the photo by adding weight to the left side. I like the way you captured the light on the tiny hairs on the leaves.
cheers

Like marko I miss here some more light (or saturation?). But the composition is good.
