To be honest, @Plantminded, it doesn't work for me. Sorry.
The composition needs to be tighter, the flowers working together instead of one on non-speaks with the others, and the blurring round the outside is too abrupt and doesn't compensate for the depth of field actually behind the flowers. It's very hard to do that with processing, you might get somewhere close but it would take a long time of fiddly work (and layers!).
Can you tell us a bit about your camera (or phone) and whether you are using automatic or manual settings?
Yes, the original looked better I think 😊! I'm using a Sony digital camera on automatic settings. I think it's the processing/processor that needs to improve! I tried a few hours with Photoshop Elements 2023 yesterday and didn't like it. There were too many gimmicks, probably aimed more at social media users. I'm sticking with Pixelmator Pro. I've discovered there's some good tutorials in the purchased version so will be getting to grips with these as the days get increasingly shorter and miserable! Here's the original of that photo:
