Wow, Very nice. I love how those flowers seem to "Pop" out at me. The colors are so lively, Well done!

I think this may have been a pretty good image that was over edited, or just not edited well.

The blurred and focused sections seem to inconsistent and with very harsh edges.

First - the blur effect is horrible. Maybe your photo was good, but you have edited it into something bad.
Second - The challenge say "Use a colorful impact to offset your subject from the rest of the photograph". What is your subject, and what is the rest of your photograph exactly? Is your subject the pink flower in the middle? the yellow flowers on the top? There is nothing that draws my eye except for the sloppy blur. For me this is not meeting the challenge.

I like the glow, just a bit too much blur in many spots.

i think maybe this could be improved by having just the main pink flower in focus- the image looks over processed and a DOF like this isnt possible i dont think, flowers at the 'back' of the bunch are in focus while leaves at the front are not. looks like it could have been a clear image with good focus to begin with though, nice colors, i just think the processing detracts from the image quality

Interesting, the flowers sure pop. Not sure I like your use of selective blur, though, you seem to have been sloppy with it in places and some of the flowers are partially blurred.
