This shot is one that grows on you. At first I didn't like it that well because there were no sharp lines. As I sit back and viewed it my artistic side started to take over and was able to enjoy this photograph. So I say you did a great job. When a photograph captures someones attention and turns them from not liking it to loving it you have truly captured a artistic photograph. Great Job! - and added to my favorites.
I like it too! The only thing I'd think to do differently is to desaturate the green stem a bit. The brightness of that green seems to detract from the softness of the pink and overall pic.
