This is quite a nice shot. I really like the colors used. Definately fits the challenge.
I see you're from Northern MI, I'm from Kalamazoo, so we're neighbors. :)
What I really like about your shot is the way it stands out from the background. I think that is important to be able to get as much detail out of the subject as possible. I also like the colors, I think they are quite strong, and you have been able to include all 3 secondary colors in the shot.
The focus seems a bit soft, and the background does appear to have a bit of noise. I think it is even more obvious because it colides with the texture of the background, and creates a noisy environment back there. However, The subject still stands out nicely.
The lighting appears to be on your side for this as well. I like how There are little patches of sun hitting the petals on the left sides of the flowers. I would not want the sun to be any brighter, however, because it's almost washing out the detail on the right most flower. Not quite, but almost.
The angle and framing/cropping is excellent. I like how you have the flowers placed in the frame, and the leaves are just kind of surrounding them.
Not really a lot that I would like to see differently here. You have good DOF, and other than the noise in the background, I think that this is excellent. Great shot.

PS, normally, you would have recieved more comments on your shots, but I think people were overwhelmed with flowers in the last 3 color challenges. Keep working and glad to have you posting!
