I like the soft colors,and the gentle transition from yellows to pinks. I do find the out of focus foreground petal a bit distracting. Perhaps I would have gone for a smaller aperture, but maybe it was windy? Otherwise I see no solution, a more from the top view would negate the beautiful contrast and detail on the stamens. I have been there soooo many times - sometimes flowers may be as difficult to photograph as birds :):)

I like the nice early morning light on the beautiful lily, Bill. Stands out beautifully from the dark bg.

For the most part, Bill I like the lush contrast of the bright, subtly colored lily against the dark BG. If I had a complaint at all, it would be that the lowest petal in the LLC needs taming down a bit.
