Hi Joan, greetings from the Critique Club!
Regarding your shot, there are some things that puzzle me, but I think I can try and figure them out :)
Composition
You should have focused more on the face and hand, since the top portion of her dress distracts a bit on the left bottom. Also, you could have a little more breathing space at the top, as to include more of the model.
Technique / lighting
The thing that was strange, is how at f/5.6 you had such shallow DOF, and then I realized you were at the long end of your lens, in the maximum aperture. This, make it very soft an image, because at maximum aperture the image tends to be a bit softer. Also, 1/6 of a second led to blurring of the flower, that seem like jpg artefacts, you could have boosted the ISO a bit. Remember, you can fix noise in PP but not a blurry photo.
Processing
Great skin tone rendering, very warm tones on the lips, hair and skin. The green is a bit dark and flat, and since it was advanced editing could be taken care of.
Still, your shot was among the voters average score, and it did ok in such a tough challenge.
If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
Regards,
Joao
