Looks like a postcard shot, good one. The composition you have chosen works well. Why didn't you use that bridge in the "bridge" challenge?

Phalaenopsis Orchid

Lovely orchids! I find there is too much in this pic for some reason, my eyes keep moving all over the image and can't settle on one particular object. Maybe a shallower DOF may have blurred the background out more. Another idea would have been to put up a black (or colored) sheet of cardboard behind the orchids so you have a uniform background.

Very shallow DOF here, the background is really blurred out but somehow still looks a little noisy. I like the positioning of the flower, good luck!

The title fits :-) Good flora here, very "pink" :-) Seriously it is good, very sharp and detailed and the lighting is excellent.

Very simple but very effective at the same time. The shallow DOF makes your flower stand out even more. The only thing which bothers me a little is that your flower is so centered.

Clever idea and well implemented! The shallow DOF works well here and your flower is very saturated and detailed, good job!

Wow this looks very crisp! The sunlight on the green leaves creates an amazing effect. I would have prefered to have seen the rose in sunlight as well.
