Coker, for me, it needs a little more exposure if shot in RAW, and/or a bit more contrast. As it stands it looks a little flat.

Classy image although I tend to agree it does seem slightly washed out.

I think a different coloured background, black perhaps, would have done the image more justice.

Dunno about black - it could be too stark

How about a deepish beige ? Couldn't do this myself [ I've a heck of a lot still to learn ] but I can't help feeling that a warmer background could show up the delicate colours to their advantage

I'm O.K. with the BG colour as is.
I was particularly pleased with the gradation from top to bottom, the darker shade behind the whites of the flower & the lighter BG behind the shadowed bot. left & the stem.
I did adjust the contrast (see Gallery), but can't make up my mind. Both look good printed-up.

Thanks again for all your thoughtful comments.

Roger.
