This is a comment from the Critique Club;

Hi There

Let me tell you what I like;
-Great detail
-Very nice colours
Basically a nice flower shot.

Unfortunately for a flower shot to do well, you need to have an exceptional shot due to hundreds and thousands of flower shots out there.
-Composition is a bit off - try not to have the purple flower in the centre.
-The one petal on the purple flower is out of focus.
-The pollin doesn't do it for me - Would've like to see a nice purple flower without the pollin.
-Try Sharpening it a bit.

Please remember - this is my opinion. Use what you want; discard the rest.

I would have tried an off cener composition since the purple flower dosen't have much symmetry to it.

a little too centered for my taste

Harsh lighting has created a shadow that's very distracting and unflattering, but the colors are really nice.

6 - Nice. The 'pollen spill' is unusual. The focus a little 'wider' else the flower 'pushed back' a little more, make this even better in my opinion.

The right petal looks blown (overexposed) because the detail is missing.Judging by the depth, it doesn't appear to be a focus problem.
