The lighting is most effective. The petals feel like blades. Beautifully done...

5 - Think I understand what you were going for, but don't think it has reached full potential - perhaps a little more depth and contrast, along with a more refined crop/composition.

Sorry but for me the image is a bit dark, may just be my monitor but most of the other entries look brighter. Good luck.

Unfortunately not fine art, in my opinion. Who are you? What are you saying with your image? What should I feel about the things you're saying? Does it mean anything to you? Are you in here, somewhere? Those are the questions I want answered by a photograph in a challenge such as this. Technically your image is very dark, and needs levels adjustments in post. The lighting is not good. The tight crop/frame is not the best; perhaps a shot of the entire plant might have made for a more engaging or delicate picture.

The crop seems a bit tight to me on the left and bottom. But I really like the light and the idea.
