This seems a bit over exposed. Perhaps the use of a polarizer (either a filter or in PP) would help.

When I see a bunch of flowers like this the first thought that pops into my head is that somebody was in trouble and somebody else bought flowers. That sat on a desk at work for a day or so then they were brought back home where the person who has a camera was bored and decided they would be pretty cool to enter into the Centered Composition III challenge. Was I close?

Alot going on in this photo making it a bit difficualt to really pick out that single red rose. There are so many types of different flowers and everything is in focus. Perhaps to isolate that rose, pulling it more forward and pushing the rest back, then creating a shallow DOF by opening up the aperature, would make you flower really pop out.

I'm not sold on the harsh flash/light for this photo.

I've seen some harsh sun, but if I had to guess, I'd say that this is a flash. I'm still learning about flashes, so I don't know exactly how you could have made this better. With the delicate pastel flowers I would say you usually would want a softer light. Natural light is great for these types of shots with maybe a soft bounced fill flash.

Too much going on in this for me... the rose just doesn't stand out enough.

A very busy photograph which has the reverse effect to being centered.

The shadows are very harsh - probably due to the use of on camera flash.

Image is a little busy for my liking. Likewise, although the rose is your centered subject, it seems the sharpest focus is on the blue flowers in the left hand side of this image.
