The blue background is a bit oversaturated, that distracts from your main yellow subject.
I like it that it is not fresh anymore, gives a more interesting pic. The stem leads into the frame, which is good.
Fun title. The blur on the inside pedals bothers me. I want to see every wrinkle of this flower's death throes. Great idea. Also, nice touch with the positioning of having the flower face to the left (the past). Whether intentional or not, it is nice to see the use of artistic/symbolic elements in photos. The blue is stunning. There are many good things about this shot. Nice job.
