Wow. I see you really got a lot of useful comments on this one. Probably learned a lot from those huh? lol I'll try my hand at some actually useful words on your shot.
First thing that comes to mind when I look at this is that this is actually pink. Purple would be the secondary color I think you were trying for. However, this does appear to be way more pink than purple. Pink is considered,neither primary nor secondary, but is officially titled a "tint". For example, pink is a tint of red. Created by mixing white and red. While red is a primary color, white is not, therefor, pink wouldn't really be acceptable for this challenge.
But, setting that aside, I'll talk about the image its self.
What stands out right away is the strange crop. You take the subject all the way to, and out of the frame on the right, but left a small bit of black space to the left. I find that strange. I would either like to see blank space all around, or none at all. I would probably prefer this to be cropped to the flowers on the left.
The lighting seems a tad strange to me. Did you use flash? Just doesn't seem very natural in my opinion. If it is, just ignore me. lol.
Focus seems good, I think that the 2 out of focus leaves near the bottom of the shot are a little distracting. I tried this crop, and I thought it was quite nice. Try this... Crop out the leaves on the bottom, and crop out the black space to the left. That leaves the entire subject taking up the entire frame. Looked pretty nice that way.
Would make an awesome puzzle.
They are very pretty flowers. i wonder if some hue/saturation adjustments could have given this a more purple appearance, and if that would have helped this shot to do better in the challenge.
