    How about a close-up?

    Excellent detail when viewed large. A bit of cropping would be a vast improvement overall.

    The blessing is there whether one notices or not. Seeing it is a step on the path to enlightenment.

    Either square or a 4x5. To focus attention on the bloom and remove the leaves that don't add to the image.

    +1 to Dan's thoughts Brian. That suggestion popped into my mind as soon as I looked at the image. If something is not contributing to the image, removing it often gives a stronger composition.

    It was suggested a different crop would improve things. A crop plus an overehaul in pp gives this result:

    Definitely better. If it were my shot I would probably go even tighter.
