Richard,
My immediate reaction is that this seems a little flat - almost dark. I like your dof decision but for me Ideally the stem wouldn't cross the bg flower. I might play with levels a little on this, if it were mine.

Richard: I agree with Pat regarding the color being a little flat. I don't mind the stem crossing the BG flower but I think I would crop away most of the blue on the top. Good DOF/POF choice. >=))>

I don't know much about the Flora in Canada but the flower looks more like a variety of Gaillardia to me than a Cone Flower .
Take care of the flatness and you have a winner here

Lovely separation between the BG and the subject flower, Richard.

I like your comp and I agree about a touch of brightening and a small crop off of the top. Excellent dof and pov.Nice work.
