Just being honest.... I like it, but that pink blob in the background seems to be what catches my eye. I like the flower, and the drop of water on it.

For me the whole bud should have been in focus I liked the soft background and stem.

I think I would have liked this better if the focus had been sharp on all the shoot.

I've seen a lot of plants and trees... Yes, they meet the challenge, but where is the creativity... It's the image that stands out from the rest that wins me over.
