In Swedish, this is called "love herb", which I like much better than the English "orpine". So I went with the Latin name :-)
Not sure how this will do. It's very soft focus, and since the apeture was so wide, well... we'll see. I kind of like it anyway. Hope I don't grow to hate it during the challenge week :-)

Color, saturation, brightness, contrast, and hue are all excellent.
Focus is good, and depth of field was used very well to create the desired effect.
A couple of things that I see are, there is a line, (spider web maybe?) that looks almost like a scratch, just above the lower left-most flower bud. Faint, and I didn't pick it up right away, but once seen keeps calling the eye back. The other is the open area at the middle right third of the frame. Again not bad, but to my eye a little too large and as such competes with the rest of the subject.
At first I thought I wish one or more of the flowers were open, but as I look at the photo it is fine the way it is. Maybe just a tiny bit more pink might be nice. There seems to be a lot of white. Not a lot more pink, just a very little bit.
Overall this is a really good picture, as reflected by your score, and one you should be proud of. Excellent job!
just looking at the thumbnail made me want to look closer and I wasn't disappointed...this is superb for the challenge...soft, great colours, lovely pov 9
