I think that the fact that it is not completely in focus gives it more mystery. If it were "perfect", it would be just another picture of a flower. This, however, is art. It's "perfect" as is.
Thank you for the kind comments SLP! I know everyone will have different opinions about how this photo should have been taken, and I love that! I am very open to critiques because I always learn something from someone else's point of view. And yes, now that I look at the photo even more, I'm starting to like the fact that it's not completely in focus. eacesign:
