New at photography and editing! Please give me advice and criticque!

I really wanted to showcase the dirt and debris, it was just a potted plant at a gardening center aha! I like how the dirt added extra detail and texture to flower. I like to take pictures of flowers, and I've noticed that when the petals are clean, it makes the picture rather boring. By finding a flower with lots of dirt and even a spider web it gives several points of interest for the eyes to go to, instead of it just being one colour.

I can't recall what setting I used, this is my first post on this subreddit, so I didn't know of the requirements, but I will be keeping track from this point on!

For the editing, I used Faststone, and I increased the brightness and contrast and attempted to dull out the blues and greens ever so slightly. Please give me advice on how I can improve this in any shape or form!
