Looking at the shot, I think you need more DOF to keep the petals also in focus. As you background (sky ) is well all plain/simple and far away you can possibly keep the whole foreground in focus

The truth is you need to use the 640 pixels to give impact to the viewer, if you are using less than that, you are just missing some points which the photo deserves. for this photo, I am not very happy with the wood scrap .. only the mud would be better IMO

To be honest, I don't see much yellow or how yellow leads to the impact.. the part that's supposed to be yellow looks a little green.. hmm my monitor looks calibrated, but still i don't see how its yellow.
As for the shot : good capture.. I would like to see a little more sharpness in the bud..somehow it looks a little smudged...did you crop too much ? It has some noise on the left/bottom corner which you might like to reduce. the lighting is good. Overall 6

this photo seems to have a lot of potential. first you can reduce some noise.. and well when converting to black and white, try to increase the contrast.... also a little on the low key would do great.. just my suggestions...

the lighting is very harsh.. try to diffuse the light falling on the subject....no no you don't always need a softbox. you can just use any piece of white cloth to cover your lamp and get a good diffused light. I have used it on $5 lamps and it works

looks like you shifted hue for this picture or whitebalace and your backdrop also gets a yellow cast...

the background lighting is not good. I don't think that you want to keep the shadow in the backdrop..this is bad for a photo

the picture is somewhat underexposed. try looking at levels and you might be able to correct it.. also you can try some curves to bring more contrast and then USM on the final image for sharpness
