Hello Nikos,
This is a very nice image, a nice play of light and dark, Chiaroscuro is a term I'm sure you're familiar with as an Art Teacher. This is a very artistic approach to floral photography. Technically very good with nice detail and lighting. There is a hotspot on the right petal, so I posted a workshop which addresses that and also brings a little more detail out of the shadows, you should be able to see the detail that has been recovered from the hot highlights. I hope you don't mind the workshop and like the result. Kind regards, Adrian
