When rainy season comes, here is the time for Hydrangea.

Nice composition, the highlights are a bit glaring though.

I like it my only gripe and it is a small gripe is that the flower is two centred but that's just a personal preference of mine.

Thank you for all comments.

a very nice image. I would suggest cropping. There is a lot of empty space, and the space on the left has some distracting detail that you could crop out, blur, or clone.

I don't know if you allow edits of your images to show what people are suggesting, and I will remove this if you object, but I wanted to show what I meant. I cropped the image, blurred the detail on the left, darkened the corners a little, and removed the leaf from the bottom left. (I didn't do a very good job of removing it.) I think these changes, or something like them, would help to focus attention on the beautiful flower you captured so well. What do you think?

this is extreme but a slight move off center would make a big difference.

Thank you very much. Another idea is what I really want and I dont mind if you would like to edit my image in order to give me an idea.
Yes, I think you are right. Somehow a leaf become some distraction. Next time I will be more careful about this. Thank you for you suggestion.

This idea also interesting. Thank you for your idea. I think next time I should try taking in many position or try cropping my image.

Alongside the edit of Dan, here is my version. I do not know if this is the leaf that he is talking about but I cloned out all the bottom leaves that I can find particularly the one that seems to me a bit of distraction. No, I did not clone it out, I use content aware in Photoshop then on about 60% brush, I cloned out the rest and crop the offending space that was left behind.

Like Dan, I offer to remove this image if you do not want the edit and/or are offended that I did took a chance.

I think Content aware look really good. Thank you for suggestion.
