Greetings from the CC.
I think this shot is ok. I think what it lacks is WOW factor. It is sort of well, boring. The light is average the composition is average. If you shoot white flowers, maybe bring some black fabric as a backdrop and then you have a drama. Also you may just try and get some golden light, waiting til sunset or sunrise and shoot with the light directly on subject vs. behind it. What I DO like is the blurred flowers on the right in the background finding an angle to shoot by which all of the background is blurred would also take away those really overexposed white areas.
I am being very critical cuz you said you were new and wanted to know. So I want to give you somethings to think about, that being said, the shot is sharp and you have really gotten close to your subject and you did pick something of beauty to shoot...all pluses in my mind. Keep up the good work and the 'wow' part will come : ) happy shooting!
