It looks like it's popping off the page. Could be a little sharper though.

Perfect DOF control, good detail in the petals and an effective presentation overall. Falls just short of demonstrating the texture of the flowers, but the grainy texture and subtle lighting of the background make up for that. Nice concept and execution of an idea.
