Flowers are always a good subject for 'cliche'. There aren't many photo sites online where you can't find a gallery full of them, so you meet the challenge very well with this shot :)
Your composition is good... choosing to NOT center these flowers seems like a good approach to this shot. The perspective of the brick wall also adds a nice touch to the shot...
The finishing score of 4.7 on this photo may be telling you something. I don't really see anything technically wrong with the photo, so it must be an issue of visual impact that held your score down a little. The essence of the 'cliche' challenge was to make a GREAT photograph of a common subject. In your photo, you managed the common subject quite nicely, but the visual impact of the shot is only average. There isn't an aspect of this particular flower photo that makes it stand out and stand above the other flower shots that are deemed to be 'cliche'...
Its clear, but not crisp. The colors should be much more vibrant. A pic with some potential. I'd have cropped it a little tighter too. It could be good tho. - Inspzil
I think that the pink background to the flowers creates alot of intrest to the picutre. I think by eliminating some of the pink background would have helped out your picture some. Nice WOrk
