So I am really happy with this shot but am not so happy with the way i managed to compose an obviously broken flower into the group, where i could have easily set it up to avoid it. Its like a portion of my brain switches off when i get behind the lens.

Willy wombat,
A great photo is like a beautiful woman......it is not perfection that makes her beautiful, it is the slight imperfection that makes you stop for a second look.
Anyway I love your photo (broken flower or no broken flower), great lighting and great use of DOF.

I do that all the time. Get a field of poppies, and I'll focus on the one with damaged petals!!
This shot though really works. I love the panoramic format and can't notice the broken flower much at all.
I would be happy with this shot.

“The absence of flaw in beauty is itself a flaw.
the broken flower grounds this cosmetic capture of flora to the very nature of nature itself, everything that blssoms will eventually wither away.
Your image shows both sides of beauty and tradgedy.
Leave it as is.

And the presence of a flaw in beauty is also a flaw.
The presence of a flaw in a floor is an OH&S issue.
