First pic is edited and than added a filter that enriched the pic at least from my perspective .

Fun concept! Good background. You did not ask for critique so I will limit my comments to two things: sharpening and clarity will bring the image into better view; increasing the white point will create a more lively image for the viewer (though perhaps you were not interested in "lively" with this image!)

Agree with Judith.

Judith , I always accept any critique and on this particular pic I aimed at a dreamy effect . Concerning the sharpening and clarity that is a valid point .Here is the first edit

This is a different photo than the one you posted first. One positive for the original picture was the "bald" head, i.e., no petals covering the center. The edit also has a bright background with the first did not have. The more tempered background of the original did lead to a "dreamy" effect and can remain so even while adjusting white point and adding clarity and sharpening. The edit shows clipping in both the highlights and shadows. What post processing program are you using? You may be done with this and that is ok. But sometimes it is worth the learning to work through a photo a bit.
