What a gorgeous, vibrant purple! Exposure is fantastic. Focus is wonderful, on the middle of the flower vs out on the petals somewhere. I would never have guessed this was a difficult photo to take, nor that it was in someplace other than a normal flower garden. The background is so beautifully blurred out and doesn’t contain anything that distracts the eye. Compositionally, I agree with @blessingscaptured, that there’s something a little odd about the placement of the main flower. It’s horizontally centered, but vertically, it’s closer to the bottom of the photo, giving the impression that it is sort of slipping out of the frame. Also, several of the closer and equally vibrant flowers are all in the lower quadrant of the photo, contributing to a bottom-heavy feeling. So, I would probably compose it differently, trying to separate the main flower from the others around it if possible, and maybe positioning it higher up in the frame to give it a more balanced look. Those are my thoughts, at least!
