A color on color shot is very challenging to pull off. While the attempt is good it could be better if there was some better light to make the lily pop off the backdrop a bit more. If you had arranged some lighting so that the light wraps around the lily where there is distinct contrast in the highlights and shadows it would look even more three dimensional and pop off the page. I think it would also benefit with better contrasts - the background hue it too close to the pink hue of the lily. The darker hue of the lily would have contrasted better off of a lighter pink hue for greater visual pop.
