Delicate Petals

The light is too powerful and washed away the details. There are harsh shadows. The flower can be a little higher in the photo. If you have an external flash, try shooting with it. Place it about 2 o clock position so the light come from a slight angle to the right to bring out the texture. Very low power touch of light from a second flash can light the shadows also. If there are no flashes, try using evening light from side and a reflector (white card board) from left to light the shadows.
And never mind the points. Just concentrate on shooting better. After you shoot the flower well, skip something else. Try some portrait. Good luck.

Very creative :) Softer path might look better.

Well balanced exposure and timing.

Reflection

If it was just the reflection, it would look like a portrait painting. Still beautiful shot.

Low power flash fill might lighten the details around eyes.

Color balance might be cooler. Whites look yellowish.

Too shallow depth of field. It would be better if both eyes were sharp IMO.

This photo remembered me the movie "Cube". I'd like to see your face also.

Depth of field is too much. More opened aperture can blur the background and distracting grass on the fore ground.

I think it will look better without that shadow on the column. Second flash lighting the wall might work.
