Good rich colour and effetive use of focus. The main problem is the petals at the top which are a distraction. Perhaps they could be cloned out.
Best wishes,

Gary,
Yes - for me they do come and go with the focus. There's only texture to the extent that the subject is in focus.
Your title says it - the isolation needs to be effective, thus the periphery needs to act to complete that isolation.

I find one of THE quickest isolation methods around is this:
* Add a new layer in Photoshop
* Change the layer blend mode to "Color"
* Now select the green colour around and paint over the troublesome red petals... they'll go green
I have even found that painting all one colour (or a tight region of colours) across the whole background can drastically simplify the image in no time
Did it on this image - the edges of the petals were just going off, so I recoloured and brought it back to life. Also toned down some of the LHS by recolouring. Same here (that has a before & after too!)
HTH!

The textures come and go, or do they?
