Better than with original colors. A bit harsh lightened IMO. But i like the surreal mood and semi abstract style. Unusual indeed.

a little overexposed methinks. the petals of the flower on the right are blown out a bit. a little creative burning would take care of that. nice composition for the challenge, nice depth, and the focus seems pretty sharp too. good job.

Nice DOF, but there's no "POP" to it. Might try darkening the background a bit. 5

Nice composition, there's a slightly pink colorcast though.

Interesting picture, I think you could have adjusted the levels in PS to show much more of the highlight detail which almost looks blown out the way you've presented it. Adjusting the hue and saturation of the greens would have been good as well, as they look a bit dull here. Shallow dof works well here. More sharpness would have been good... is there any USM here?
