the DOF throws things off a bit, not sure if the blur in the background was from the camera or post processing but it distracts from the flowers

This may have worked better with a watercolor filter applied to the whole image. As it is, the main subject which draws the eye, is OOF, and the other two flowers are oversharpened, and the tree in the BG is distracting. Great colors here, but another way of prcessing the shot may have worked better.
