Light source is not moving, so not matching with the subject.

By giving the rear flower/leaves the same amount of light at the front, I want them to be equally well in focus. Only a small gripe tho. Overall I like this.

The image simply isn't interesting. Perhaps a different angle could help, possibly also if the button were sharper.

I'm not sure that this meets the 'spirit' of the challenge, but since it technically does, I'll let that pass without marking off for it. However, if I were a fashion magazine editor, I would have to take a 'pass' on using this photo for a couple of reasons. 1- While close-ups or macros do indeed appear in some designer ads, they are always crisp and clear throughout the entire picture. 2 - When these close-ups appear, they are usually shown 'in context' (a cuff on a model's arm, for example). 3 - The composition is visually boring. There is nothing that leads the eye from one spot to another in the photo; the eye simply jumps around trying to make sense of it.
Also, I don't know if this is the actual color of the item. It _looks_ like it was added in post processing. So, again, if the color was added after the fact, this would be another cause to not use the photo.
I know that this isn't a very positive critique, but I hope at least some of it will be helpful to you.
