Excellent "spring mood" photo. Well arranged within frame. Perfect separation from BG. Well done Sally. :toast:

The lighting is definitely a little harsh here Sally, and the whites look blown - or close to it - on the main bloom. Some recovery in LR might be in order. Overall nice shot - I like the comp with the one flower facing the viewer and the others supporting the overall frame.

Repost looks better to me as well, Sally. In situations like these I often use a diffuser to soften and even out the lighting.

Lovely shot, Sally - a fine piece of framing and the stamens are nice and sharp ! I agree with others that the repost is a bit better.
