Well, I dont think you are getting a good focus in the lip area. Are you taking these with a digital camera, or a phone camera? Often times digital cameras focus on the green of the plant instead of the flower in the foreground because they have twice as many green pixels than blue or red, and the focus algorithem calculates the focus setting by going for the best contrast, and that usually means green plant material instead of flowers. I used to hold a plant label with black writing on it up next to the flower, half click while aiming at the card, then pull the card, recenter the camera, and finish the click. Some times it would take two or three tries before getting the flower in focus. If you try once more, go ahead and get a better picture of the full plant too. Then we will take the best that you have an see what we can do. Do you have a picture sharing site that you use?
