Howdy @HeldInHisArms!
That’s a very good shot. I have millions of those growing in my yard. The only thing I would do is post process the color a little. Was the background that yellow when you took it? Here’s the image back for a example.

Oh wow, that is beautiful and sharp. What lens did you use?
It is nice that there is contrast between the plant and the background in the upper portions of the image, but one thing I noticed was that the bottom portions of the plant and stem seem to fade into the background. There is very little contrast down there between the plant and the background. Now, I can see this as a positive thing because it creates depth and a link between the foreground and background. However, I wonder if it would be a more dynamic image if there was greater contrast between the plant and background.
As for the white balance, most of the samples I took of the background do register as a very warm, yellow-green (the attachment is about average). However, I would prefer to see this image warm than cool. The purple adds a good, balancing color contrast.

@thefarmhand ~ thanks! The background was yellowish when I took the picture, but the sun was directly overhead so that may have had something to do with it.
@James Staddon ~ thank you! I used and 18-55 surprisingly, I took this a while ago when I was just starting out in photography. I’ll work on the editing some and see if I can make it have more contrast.
