I would love to see what this looked like straight out of the camera. It's a little too processed, for my taste, but it is still a good capture.

Voted earlier, bumping up, and coming back to comment.

There are fantastic details from the textures on the petals to the yellow center of this flower. Composition is excellent in that the main subject fills the frame and brings us in to appreciate the details. There is one thing that would greatly improve the shot and that is either different lighting and/or setting the camera's setting on vivid (if it has that function). The lighting (guessing it might have been taken in full shade) or mayhap the camera setting has the main colors of this flower a little on the dull and flat side. Looking at the thumbnail and at the larger picture as well it seems a little washed out when the colors should and could be more vivid. Making sure the lighting fully illuminates your subject not just to get good details but also (depending on subject and mood) make it visually pop is the one thing that would catapult this in the the high end of the scale.

I have a feeling that this was originally a tree.

The colors and texture you have achieved are quite intriguing.

Not a low score for me on this one but not a high one either (gave it a 6) I liked how the picture was and layout of it.

I am not sure about the vignettes, I think that is just my style and I prefer them more on portraits than landscape pictures, but I didn't want to ding you for that because I see what you were trying to accomplish. In some photos I think it will make or break a photo in this one it has really has distracted me a lot for some reason.
My favorite photos that I have seen vignettes are the ones that are just faded ever so lightly in and you can barely see them there giving it just a taste that something different is there. I just think it may be too strong of one (for me, you can shoot me if you wanna LOL) But I thought I would make a comment on how I see this one..
