Richard,

I like the image as posted and the broad leaf on the viewer's right. Even so, I might be tempted to crop in from the right to better emphasize that red flower. I like it a lot. I guess the problem would be clobbering the radials in the leaf which I also like...

Nice use of the dof and pof. I really like the droplets scattered about and the red/green combo. Very well done!

Richard: I think I like this as posted although a crop would be OK. I like the details in the leaves and your plane of focus. Nicely done.>=))>

Richard:
Like the contrast of red on green and the drops makes this refreshing.

I like this very well but instead of cropping on the right, I would clone out the red oof bloom on the right top. That way you keep the lovely greenery all around. Nicely done.
