Well, this was under appreciated IMHO but a bit of post processing could have made a huge difference... A touch of sharpening and a touch more contrast in the flower to really make it pop.

beautiful light - Curious about the composition. With the centered composition (which I like) I'd rather see a square crop; with a rectangular crop I'd rather see an offset composition.

But that's just me...

good DOF, good job eliminating the background.

You have good color and lighting. Composition is what hurts you the most, IMO. You don't want to cut off the tips of your subject, whether it be someone's hand or a flower's petal. Either make a more aggressive crop or leave some negative space around the subject. In addition, I'd try avoid centering the subject in a landscape oriented shot. A square crop would work better.

the lighting appears a little flat, I would take a step back because you cut off part of your subject, which breaks the even symmetry. The pink is spot on though looks great :)

nice sharpness, good color. but the flower is too centered

With a little processing this would have been stunning.

Not really enough to capture my interest here, plus the "thing" in the lower right background is distracting. A light from the back would have helped separate the subject from the background too.
