General: This is a good idea to try and capture the white flowers against the dark background though the detail in the background is distracting. Also, the focus seems to be a bit off.

Composition: Due to the detail in the background the image is very busy. There is no one focal point. One way to solve this would be to zoom in, reducing the amount of background. This would also decrease the depth of field therefore emphasizing your chosen subject.

Exposure: The flash has produced a very harsh light on the subject in the foreground. This is probably due to being too close to it for the power of the flash. There are couple of solutions here, either backup so the flash does not wash out your subject or use flash exposure compensation.

Impact: There is not much impact in this image for the reasons stated above. Increasing the zoom could probably help here.

Attempting shots in very low light can be challenging to both the photographer and the camera. The camera can have a hard time getting a focus lock. The photographer can have a hard time adjusting the exposure properly when using flash. Experiment with flash exposure compensation and, to aid the camera in focusing, maybe use an extra light source on the main subject (other than flash).

Keep shooting.

well since this whole photo is so dark except a few flowers, i dont think it meets the challenge, as they are the main subject of the photo.
