Cropping doesn't work for me on this one. I feel like I need to see just a little more a the bottom, and probably on the right as well. Also, nothing appears to be in focus, and I find it difficult to get past that.
It looos Christmas-y to me. I guess it's the colors... For such a tight shot, I think you could've done better by having a sharper, better focused flower to really make it stand out.
However, the bokeh ended up working nicely.
