yes, I think that brings the attention to the little flower that's in such crisp focus.
of course, it's quite a different photo when you do that -- you don't have the "2 giraffes kissing" composition.
cropped closer into an 8x10...
and even closer, bringing more attention to the new grass blades marching across the bottom...
or maybe
closest, just to show how much the image changes...
None are necessarily "better" than what you started with, just "different." You saw 2 flowers when you took the photo; because of the focus plane, I saw 1 budding bloom with another providing background color.
