Thanks Don, I considered dampening the green corner because it leads your eye a bit too much, but then I kind of liked it. Here is a more subdued version. Thoughts?

The third time is certainly better. You're kind of stuck with a bad break of having a background element that's so distracting. I hate it when that happens to me.
I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.
Wonderful image, sharp and the flower is well captured. Just a thought, what if you were to enlarge the image some. The leftmost corner would exit to the left leaving only a little of the green corner remaining. The result would have the flower off-centered to the upper-left a bit but, this might make for an interesting presentation.
The flower to the left and a larger portion of the image, uncluttered, showing the stems just barely in the sunlight. Just my off-kilter look at the world sometimes.

A beautiful shot, Cristobal. Unusual but effective lighting. I'd consider dampening the highlights in the top left but I don't think it's a big point.

Very nice. I think Don has a valid point about the highlights at the top left.
Better. I might darken the leftmost highlights still more.

Third time is a charm?

Thanks Tom. I like it anyhow, it is better now that it's darker.

In the end...a wonderful image!

Thanks, I will give your suggestion a try.

I don't have any problem with the third version as is. You certainly nailed the focus on the flower.
