Oh, lovely :-) I'm still waiting for our butterflies to show up; I think their arrival has been rained out!

I like your processing on this, it's very subtle yet crisp with soft glowing colors. The fly is a nice added touch ;-)

Very nice delicate floral, exceptional detail and coloration. I might have cropped off the OOF portion which mimics the main subject and tends to pull your eye away from it. IMO, with something like this you really need to draw attention to the subtle detail and hues in the primary flower which means eliminating all distractions.
