Your photo is a little blueish, setting the white tone on the wall could handle that issue.

It's a bit out of focus, the picture is a bit soft.

Unusual, creepy, and I can't relate to the title, but it was thinking out of the box. 7, I would like a bit more contrast.

Hi Nitin, greetings from the Critique Club!

Regarding your photo:

Composition
The image flows very well, I really like the bokeh on the background.
The way the petals are just hanging over the bottom of the image is very peaceful and tranquil.

Technique
I imagine it must be hard to get all in focus at f/5.6, you were probably on the long end of your lens? Maybe some ISO could be sacrificed in order to get a smaller aperture and get everything in focus.

Processing
Just as a lot of people said, the tones are so vibrant, and the colour rendition is very good.
Lovely whites and yellows.

Processing
Effective, very low profile but it did the trick.

Overall, I think you were downvoted because of the flower issue. Although it's not just a flower, it becomes a great part of the subject matter. The winner is also a macro but without flowers, so I guess that you could have scored higher if it was all in focus and you didn't have such a big flower in your shot.

If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
Regards,
Joao

An absolutely AMAZING photo, but the skin smoothing was overdone, and the photo became unnatural...
