Greetings from the Critique Club!
Hi! This is a lovely overall shot and I originally gave it a 7 during the challenge.
What threw me off initially in the challange and still does now is the cropping to start. I'm guessing you were going for the rules of 1/3 with the off center crop and I think it would work very well if the center of the flower was more to the right and down just a hair.
You said you only adjusted the brightness but I wonder if you did anything with the coloration also because of the blue tint that is coming across on my monitor. Or was that the lighting that you used? I like the tint, it's very surreal which really works with this shot.
The border is unique but also a bit distracting to me personally. Also while the shot is sharp, it's coming across with a very soft focus and the white area above the bud is a bit overbright to me. Perhaps a different angle so it's a leave behind the buds?
I hope this helps and should you decide to do any of the changes I offered I would love to see the redone work! But it is a great shot as is!
Good Luck In Future Challenges!

| High-key is tricky (at least I've never gotten it right!), and here I think the problem is that the center looks like it has lots of shadows, only they are over-exposed. A good high-key shot can have dark shadows, only they can't cover significant portions of the image. Anyway, great composition, and I rather like the frame. |

| What a gorgeous high-key effect. The misty feeling fits the subject well. |

| Good concept and nicely done. Did not vote down for the "artsy" border but felt is was distracting. |

Technical: fits the challenge. Exposure composition focus lighting all good. I think the DOF works nicely with the placement of the subject.
Personal: For me this is a little overdone with the color and the border. I'm sure others will love it though.
My vote: 6 |

| I love these white on white shot, they are so delicate, and this one is no exception, the lighting is wonderful and you captured the detail perfectly, 10 |
