Comment by GuGi:
I think focus on the flower itself would have helped here.

I suspect this might be more effective with a simpler background, though I do like the way the texture shows through in the body of the bird.

Comment by Xilebo:
The greenery came out good but the tulip flower is overexposed, would have been nice to see the texture of the tulip..

This would be much better if the surface were not textured.

Comment by Strontious:
is image is way too low resolution, horrible lighting and complete lack of contrast, if you were to attempt the image in the future, i would suggest doing the following:
find a center of interest, move in on the actualy flower cluster, and focus on one flower
make sure you save it at a high enough resolution that you don't loose detail and get the jpg, edge noise
pay attention to your lighting, side lighting probably would have worked best
in post-editing, boost your yellow saturation, and then add a bit of contrast

I can't find the focal point. The composition isn't bad and nice sky in background that would have been real good if the colours had been clearer.

Bit too dark and seems a tad out of focus. Good idea that meats the challenge well though.
