The images that always suffer from a lack of comments are the ones that are right in the middle ground. Everyone comments on the awesome shots. Some comment on the bad shots. But the middle ones, very few people say anything. So here I am to explain why I voted a 5:
This flower shot qualifies for the challenge as a "close-up" rather than macro shot. However, essential to both is good excellent sharpness in the details.
It appears that the very center of the main flower is in focus. And even the purple flower behind it. But the surrounding petals (of the main flower) with the water droplets appear to be out of focus.
This makes me suspect that you might have gotten too close. Each lens has a limit as to how close you can focus and while the center of the flower may have been far enough away, the petals (which are closer to the lens) were not.
I would also experiment a bit with composition. The red flower on the bottom left seems okay, but the purple flower on the right is distracting. It keeps leading me to look away from the main flower (in part because it is more in focus). The other red flower appears to just be a distraction. It doesn't add to the photo.
So move up, down, side to side... try different angles, but don't get too close. :-)
Nice colors. The focus seems to be more on the offshoot flower on the right which is not that pretty. The water drops and the flower kind of blurr together.
