Hi Greetings from the Critique Club,
What I think works about your photo is the background, I like the dark green leaves and the blurred DOF, it helps the viewer to focus on your subject.
What I think needs some improving is that there is quite a big patch that is overexposed, perhaps could be fixed with a dodging, or perhaps adjust in shadows and highlights.
Subject choice: I think the hard thing about photographing something, dead or sad, is that even if you do a good job you will disturb your audience. Most humans are not keen to look death and sadness in the face. So if you chose those kinds of things as subjects, beforewarned you are likely to get a poor response.
Would also be good to have a little more detail in the flowers, tho I suspect that is a limitation of your camera. I actually had that camera for a little while.
Keep up the effort.

| Interesting close-up. Correction if I may, I think it's DCPer's that cry when the flowers are dying & wilted. |

| Title fits well with your photo, but somehow it doesn't really hold my attention, sorry. |

| A movie about dying plants crying? I don't see it. Nor do I want to go see it. |

| Very good composition and the darkening of the background really sets off the subject matter. But lack of sharpness and contrast on the dying petals holds this photo back. |
