I said a 7, mainly for colour - beautiful & gorgeous winter browns, but white balance is off - your blacks are not as black as they could be. (are you using photoshop? - click that black eye dropper in curves or levels on a dark area) The primary winter blossom suffers from a softness and subsequent lack of detail. This lens should be so sharp it will make your eyes bleed - hand held in this light may not be an option for camera shake. I think dof is good, but another half stop or so will help sharpen and define your primary bloom without much effect on the background, especially since you are also using some background blur technique. Consider raw - and process in 16 bit as far a you can, you may see slight tonality improvement. I think this crop is awkward, I would have played with a perfect square for this composition.

This is lovely, interesting that I feel it needs a mild tilt to the left (I think) .. it just feels slightly off balance, but is great with the lighting and the reflections working.

like the title - like the red, the lighting is a bit harsh of the flower - but perhaps it needed to be to get your shadow to show up so well - I especially like the texture in the shadowed areas - nice work :)
