I really like this. It's busy, but the composition is tight enough to bring focus to the flowers. The sense of scale is really good.

Comment by GeneralE:
I like the layering of colors, but the difference in sharpness between the fore- and background elements is so stark it looks almost artificial or compositied. That adds to the feeling of depth, but seems a little jarring -- I'd like to see this with a softer overall look. Not sure it would be better, but would be interesting to compare.
