That droop is everything. The way the yellow speaks against the purple without yelling, you've caught the exact gesture of nightshade before it collapses into itself. I've tried painting something similar with fuchsias and could never get that weight right, the way petals hold tension at the edge of giving up. This has it.

I spent years trying to nail macro work like this and gave up more times than I can count. That focus plane on the blossom, the way the yellow pulls forward against the purple, you got it. The T3i with that Tamron 90 is a solid pairing for this kind of patience work.
