This is a beautiful flower, and you take beautiful photos. When I saw this, made me think maybe you should make a book of photography, possibly with flowers in it, one day. 
And I don't know about the technicalities of this field (foto-graa-fee), but this just feels like a good photo. Like it's good that you took it at this angle, cus if you put those little purple buds (what are those?) at the top then the tiny striations would lead down the picture instead of across, whereas when you have it horizontal like you did here, then it takes the eye longer to look across. The way I see it is either tons of vertical lines or tons of horizontal lines. And vertical is faster, so the "pacing" of the picture seems right for a photo like this where you want to just gaze and take in its beauty a little longer. So to have horizontal lines that start flowing down from the purple thingy-majigs and then thru the left pedal where the eye could either go up or down and in either case can still smoothly flow out the bottom right of the picture makes more sense.
I also thing having it slightly off-center mimics the Renaissance technique of putting all their portraits slightly off-center so that the picture is more lively and not stale. It appears to move.
= You have a good eye.

Wow, thank you. That is really nice of you to say.
And to say that you, apparently, don't know much about the technicalities of photography...this comment is pretty wow. I didn't really think much of this photo in the first place but thank you for noticing all the details.

Haha, I didn't think anything of my comment until you said that. 
Is good.
Yeah, I don't know about photography, but I know a little about art and positioning. If you ever get a chance to see it or download it from a torrent site, ... The Barnstone Method? They have some interesting stuff on there about that. Very educational. Should be 10 groups of files.
And now I just found this guy complaining about it when I went to check if "Barnstone Method" were the right words. XD

I haven't really looked into it. I think he's complaining about the guy cus he's too rigid and doesn't like the exercises cus it squelches your artistic expression, or so he says. I haven't been thru all the videos yet, so I'm not sure, but I'll see...
Nice of you to compliment my comment.
This is a day later:
I just read thru that guy's comments... yeah. He has nothing good to say about Myron, the Barnstone Method teacher, and it's not really founded in reality, just futile arguments. The Myron guy is a great teacher and he is NOT squelching artistic ability, merely going over the basics of why people today know less about art than former times and how to fix that, and some don't want that fixed!
Myron is great, this blogger guy is not.
Myron is a great teacher, this blogger guy can't even properly defend his argument. Not after reading thru all those comments.
