Hello from the Critique Club:
Well, you certainly were dead on when you predicted the plethora of other flower entries. Many daisies, to boot.
Your entry unequivocally meets the challenge, which is always a necessary start for a decent score. I really enjoy your use of DoF. The choice to have the focal point on the florets was wise, and I especially like how nicely the stem fades into the background so gracefully. You also captured the flower from an angle other than dead on, which adds some interest as well, especially because the delicacy of the petals is accentuated by your specific angle.
You effectively made the background true white, which can be difficult in some circumstances. Your subject was also lit very well, providing soft shadows, but enough to show the texture of the petals and florets.
Really, the only suggestion I would personally make is that a little bit more negative space on the left might have benefited things slightly.
Very nice entry.
