*Criitque Club*
This looks purple to me. A lot more purple than the pinkish color people have entered. So I say that it fits the challenge in my opinion.
However, this does suffer greatly from lack of focus. You've heard it before, but what kind of crit would this be if I didn't mention it. You have used DOF very nicely to blurr the background to get it out of the way and let the subject shine, however, I am wondering if you set your distance, and then moved? The water drops are a nice touch, but as stated, creates some frusteration, as they are easily detected as being out of focus.
The lighting seems ok, but I wonder if some extra lighting would have helped both the focus, and to helps the front of the tuilp to have more detail.
The angle and framing/cropping is good. I wouldn't change that. I like how you have put the flower to the right of the photo. That does have visual appeal, however, it's hard to see through the focus to concentrate on the good aspects of the photo.
There is a vertical line, which I just noticed in your background, which once noticed creates a bit of a distraction to me. It cuts right through your subject. In through the top and out through the bottom. The blurred background helps to hide it, true, but once I see it, it's very obvious.
I believe this would have scored much higher with sharper focus.

| I like the purple on bluey purple background. The tulip seems a bit too out of focus though. I'm not sure where the focus is sharp in this shot. |

| Pretty, but a bit too soft for my taste. I feel frustrated that I can't see the raindrops more clearly. |

| Seems a little soft/out of focus. Not sure if you were going for a mood here, but as it's the main (only) subject it doesnt really stand out as sharp as it probably should against the blurred background. |
