Color looks off on this. Has it been white balanced? Did you adjust levels or hue/saturation?

This is a nice photograph, but I think it would have been much better if you didn't use the flash.

Your main topic is not Rusted, and the background doesn't support or enhance the flower.

Flash was too intense.

I would have tried to take the picture when more natural light was available. Pictures exposed with only an on-camera flash almost never work. The harsh frontal lighting and the hard shadows make the image look like it is composed of three very flat planes. Cropping the top fourth from the image would help the composition dramatically.

Too bad you couldn't get this shot wit natural light instead of with a flash.
