I don't know if you actually did, but this image screams oversaturation. It really looks like you ramped blue up way too much. The confusing pattern also creates a lack of focal interest: the eyes wander all over the image without finding any single point to be drawn to. Keep experimenting.

I think this picture might have been oversaturated (purple showing up on petals). Also I think the face-on angle isn't very interesting to the viewer.

Thats some really bad cloning. Might want to skip the solid brushes from now on and use one with a softer edge.

Comment by MrAkamai:
Colors are very rich and almost too rich. Maybe you oversharpened and cranked the saturation up, too. Not sure if my eyes are seeing correctly but I see some weird circular shapes up near the top middle and in the right corner. Maybe you cloned some odd bits out. I also think the background could have used more shallow DOF to make it less distracting.

nice effort, but unfortunately for me, it's not working too well. too much blue and too much busy background.

the way in which you have composed your shot makes it very cluttered looking. your picture would be much stronger if you composed the shot in such a way that you seperate your subject from the surroundings.
