Single shot for critique

In a recent post of some flower shots I was (rightly) chastised for my formulaic, neat and in the middle composition. That set me the challenge of avoiding such a trap. Here is the result of my attempts to maintain focus on the main flower, but without a neat and in the middle composition. I'd appreciate your comments.

Well I haven't seen your earlier shots that got the ribbing, but I'd prefer the bottom flower to be cropped so it was neat and in the middle. I find this current shot uncomfortable as you have various subjects viaing for attention, the two in focus flowers, the bug and the out of focus flower.

The colour tone in this is lovely Peter. The image feels soft while the subject is sharp.
How did you manage that?
