The colors and "abstractness" is wonderful! I actually wish the whole thing was as OOF as the top petals..(I bet you've never heard that before!)...The sharp stamen kinda breaks the flow up. I also wished the whole frame was filled with petals (leaving out the dark background gaps).....Overall nice photo and I bet it would love beautiful on a wall....

I actually think the soft focus and the dark color tones work well here to set the mood. Don't worry about the DNMC, bc as you know, most people only look at a photo for a few seconds when voting in a challenge.

As far as the composition...it bothers me a little that the top rose (what's left of it) is directly above the main subject. I would prefer it to be slightly off to the left, and then you could crop the photo so that both roses were on the thirds.

You've opened Pandora's box. You're going to have to learn good sportsmanship now.
