Like how the desat works to concentrate your focal point here, motion blur is very effective.

I really like this. I usually don't like blurred photos, but this one makes me feel part of the image, like I'm there. Definitely a 10, for me. Good job.

Wow this is a really powerful image for me...a very effective profile shot and almost 3D with the blurred background. I like it a lot. 8

I find the frame cutting though the flower very disturbing. The frame in the lower corner works.

Comment by grbrya:
The inside border is a bit distracting since it cuts into main subject

Comment by Car54:
good subject, but i think the composition could be improved by eliminating the inner border and perhaps the outer one also. i also think the white background is a bit harsh and unfortunately doesn't emphasize the grain in the plant/vase. i like the choice of using a dying/wilted plant, it adds curiosity. good potential here. i find plants are always challenge to capture.
