You again? LOL Just kidding.
This is a nice shot. I'm not real fond of the background, however, I think that the colors go well with the flower.
I think you might have gotten a bit too close. The crop is touching the flower on 3 sides, but no on the left. I think that either making the crop touch the left side as well, or creating a bit of space on all the sides would be better. Just to keep it uniform.
The focus and clarity appears to be good. I like the little droplets. They do make for a nice visually appealing touch.
Definately Orange, and that makes it fit the challenge perfectly. I really do like the mixture of colors, but something about the background doesn't appeal to me other than the colors.
I also notice a strange yellow line that goes all the way around your flower, even through the orange blotches in the background. Was this created by the effect used? Seems strange, and upon looking at it, find it to be a bit of a distraction.
This appears to have good lighting. No really hot spots or distracting shadows or anything. Otherwise it's definately different, and it has a nice ring to it.

P.S. I just realized that I've tried something very similar a long time ago. Check it out, you'll get a good laugh. //www.photosig.com/go/photos/view?id=344326

A great concept, and technically I can point out no flaws; it's a wonderful picture of a prettily-lit tulip. I can say the background bothers me for no reason I can articulate, and that it doesn't seem particularly *exciting* (probably a composition thing), but it's definitely a pretty photo, skilfully taken. 8.

no need to do so much sharpening :) .. would be fine with good focus and a minimal amount of processing

The flower is sharp and the water drops give a nice effect though the bright yellow background is distracting. Also, I would have cropped tight to the petal on the left for balance and impact.
