Beautiful purples, but the complementary yellow color seems too washed out. I haven't read any other comments yet, but I suspect "focus" issues predominated. This would have been better, I think, if the yellows were more obvious and the flowers were more sharply focused. I like the composition. Nice use of diagonals.

Its a good photo, but the green behind is too bright..
Also would have cropped a little off both the right and left,a couple of little things are creeping into the frame.

The composition here works for me, even though some may say left to right is more appropriate - I'm kinda fond of right to left. I especially like just the touch of yellow along with the proliferation of purples. I suspect what really hurt your score was the lack of focus on the flowers and the underexposure of the ones closest to the viewer.

I think this image has potential, even though it scored so low.

the balance between purple and yellow is perfect, yellow is a very dominant color and has to be used with caution, but what I find wrong is the lighting, there's just too much shadow in the flowers, but not enough to make it look like it was intentional.

since this is a flower picture people want to see all the fine details, but your aperture is way to big to show any details, try shooting again at f8-f16 and use a tripod, and try using ISO 100. just lower the speed to compensate. I think the image would pop out and be really nice just by increesing the DOF.

hope this helps.
