Nice floral image. Good shallow depth of field (DOF) with low noise. Greens and pinks work well together. High technical quality.

Some viewers may not like having a floral entry for this type of challenge. Flowers are common in almost all challenges and viewers tend to rate them lower if they feel they do not fit well.

Though there really isn't anything specifically wrong with the composition there is not a lot in the framing to add interest for the viewer. You might consider other perspectives and/or arrangements of the flowers for added visual impact. The rule of thirds, of course, is always good for this purpose.

You might consider judicious use of dodge and burn to add texture to image and reduce the slight overexposure in some of the flower petals.

I love the colours. But it is so visually pleasing that it can't be a fantasy. Nothing is left to the imagination.

Nice photo. The blossoms are lovely & the DOF adds to the effect beautifully. For MY eye, I'd have preferred that you crop the leaves out of the bottom of the pic, but that is one man's opinion... 7
