Strong background saturation i find attractive it sublimates your field, but with plenty of detail - Your beautiful hydrangea, admitedly under flat light lacks the balanced tonal vitality of the background. Possibly sharpness in the file is partially to blame, but I think you could coax some more dynamic qualities from that bloom.

Lovely light and color. I'd bring up the green just a tad. Lovely natural shot.
