Simplicity

very minimalistic!
I like the use of the grey dull background to put all the empthasis on the flower, it really makes it stand out and becomes the main focal point which i'm sure is what you set out to achieve.
If i had to make one criticism it would be the fact that there is too much dead space, although i'm not sure cropping would have helped in this case as I like the fact the buds are in the picture too. Perhaps taking this from a different angle would help to tighten things up a bit? Just my 2 cents. :o)

the sky looks overcooked on PS and really un-natural IMHO. It's a shame as the shot has real potential

great timing to grab this shot but there is too much empty space on the right hand side and would perhaps benefit from being cropped slightly?
It is a shame the little fella is flying away from you and not towards you as it would have been great to see the face and not the bum lol

you've done really well to capture this but could have benefitted from being a little bit sharper.
Also i'm not sure what the white line is to the left of the twig going up, but it's quite distracting - the good news is it can be easily cloned out on Photoshop :o)
I just hope it's not a scratch on your lens?

this would have been a LOT better if the subject was closer, he (or she) is just too far away to make any kind of impact

seen so many of these now, and while it's been nicely executed it doesn't offer anything new IMO
