What I like about white flowers, it's easy to make them the center of attention, you did a great job here!, and you cannot go wrong with shapes repetition too ;)

Well, the purple ones sure do lead my eye into the comp. I sometimes take a small mag lite w/me, to make a subtle spotlight on white petals. These make a beautiful show as a border, don't they?

I did some of the white ones last night as well but they just don't have the same punch as the purple ones.

The flower is Nigella, with common names of love-in-a-mist or devil-in-a-bush. The seed pod in the middle of the flower will blow up like a balloon. Collect some seed coz they are easy to grow without getting pesty and they are very pretty.

This is a really pretty flower and I really like the background pattern too. You are right about the focus and KarenNfld has given you some great advice.

Once again your good eye for an image wins through - depth of field is great, composition works really well.

As others have said, I don't think your colours are far off, it just needs a little more 'pop' to come alive; that's probably about some slight contrast boosting - mainly just at the dark end by raising the black point.

Overall though, I think this is an excellent image.

I think it's Love-in-a-Mist flower, there's some at the Botanical Gardens here (well, in the summer, they're not blooming yet). Since it was blowing and you didn't have a tripod, did you try upping the ISO? Sometimes that helps.
