As a big fan of your photography, Dirt, I find your composition and settings are always as best as could be instinctively, So I am only chiming in because of your invitation to see what other variations can be done with this lovely crocus photo. First of all, I think the framing is just fine, my adjustment was to highlight the little budding crocus and keep the mature crocus not as distinct. Perhaps it's too dramatic for some tastes, but I did this strictly for comparison and to see the response to such cosmetic editing. This was done simply through my Apple Photos application, which now comes with almost as much editing tools as Photoshop (which I also have), These were all very small adjustments in many categories, e.g Light: Brilliance, Highlights and Contrast all in decimal amounts. I altered the RGB curve via the color graph slightly, sharpened the Intensity and edges and voila, my results. I liked your original soft effect, this is only to compare another editing possibility, in this case becoming more intensely dramatic.
