Greetings from the Critique Club!
Good silhouette so it meets the challenge, but quite difficult to see that it's either a bud, or winter. At first view I thought this was meant to be a bird. The scrunched-up bud just translates into a lumpy, ill-defined figure. The lack of dof softens some parts of the bud that could be nice and sharp and thus help define what we're looking at.
So while it's not a terrible shot, a subject that is a little more clear to see and define in silhouette may have been a better choice. Save the flower for when it's in bloom and there are flower/macro challenges on, and you may have better luck then.
Please keep shooting and entering!
