this is a good composition and cool DOF butttt im lookin' for pics that i'm really going to remember and are really going to stick out in my head as a really amazing shot and a picture of flowers doesn't really do much for me.
I've looked at this image a couple of times and I find the shallow DOF to be too distracting with all the others in the background. Another perspective where you could have framed only one or two flowers (not sure ifthat was possible) would have been better suited with your title. Good Luck.
