Comment by Bran-O-Rama:
The chips at the top of the frame seem to be in focus (background) while the closest chips in the foreground are blurry. I'd like to have seen a better composition or arrangement of chips, maybe a stack fanned out or a pyramid-like pile with 1 chip on top. Chips here appear totally random and the eyes wander all about, looking to find the focus of this image.

I actually like creative borders, but don't care for the color of the inner line; I think I'd use black, white, or a color sampled from a leaf.

Comment by moodville:
The placement of the flower is good, but there is a lot of other detail in the shot that seems to competing for attention. What looks like the petal of another flower on the right is a little distracting. Getting closer to the flower and filling the frame with it would have been ideal, especially if your camera is unable to control the depth of field and put the branches/leaves out of focus more.

The focus seems to be on the leaves to the right of the flower, not on the flower itself.
