Hello,
Tho I like the crop the image overall is to centeralized for me.Sometimes it works sometimes not here it did not. Moveing it to the left hand corner & down a bit would have been better here. The blowout on the front & right pedal is a bit distracting, the use of a polerizer would have been a huge help to you here cutting down the glear or eleminating it completely.The color of the rose (pink) seems very flat no pop to it at all. Not sure if it is the blur tool or what but some sections of the image have real nice detail while others do not. From an overall prospective it appears to me that way to much editing was done here on a subject that really does'nt need it. I do realize that this was an advanced editing challange but we must not forget the photography here. I think you just tried to do to much with to little here.
7 - Nice image. Like the composition. Difficult, but my eye is looking for some balance at the top with the black, so perhaps the anthers, and that area, a bit darker - but unless you did that manually in pp, an overall contrast adjustment looks like it would blow that petal out. Like your tone choice.
