a peculiar sunflower (C&C)

I tried experimenting with different angles and lighting. This was the result. Pleas let me know how I could make it better. Thank you!

Nice little silhouette look!

I like that you don't only have a dark black silhouette, but actually have some colors on the edges of the petals. Could it be possible to clone out the leaves on the lower right and left that doesn't belong to the flower? Very nice!!

I am not at all sure about this one
reason one: It looks like a paper flower
reason two: the magic of transparency is not brought out
reason three: centralized composition
reason four: from your history of posting, this image comes no where near my expectation

All fair critiques. I agree with all of them. If I ever decide to actually do anything with this image I am sure I could easily clone out those leaves at the bottom.

Also, frequency, I think that last one was a compliment maybe. Coming from you that means a lot. Thanks.
