DAVE, hurray.
This is so artistic looking. BRAVO. Nicely composed with punch of RED with contrasting green. YEP, it is winner.
The photo that I attached is one from this past Thursday's meeting that I shared with the club. This was NOT the photo I shared, the one that the club saw was a landscape crop and they suggested that I remove the left side of the image and make it a portrait of just the FARM TOOL SUBJECT. They were right.
I am going to stick my neck out and suggest that you "LOOK AT" just the opposite for your image, Dave. On your computer scroll the page down to stop just a little above the half way point of the mid point of the vertical side of your image. For me, using that crop, the red and green cactus flower is not getting lost in a lot of background, but pops off the page. DO no other cropping than this so that the cactus remains off center but still with some gray background and white streeks above it.
I felt that the flower got minimized too much in your composition and the negative gray space did not add anything to enhance the flower's powerful punch.
Just a suggestion.
