This image looks oversharpened to me. I think that the white areas look unnatural, and there is a strange area around the edge of the tulips. I've never seen these kind of tuilps before. Interesting.
The angle and framing/cropping is not my preference here. The subject is too centered in my opinion and needs some dramatic angle or placement to make it appeal to me in that area.
Focus and clartiy seem hindered by what I'm thinking is oversharpening, however, I think that the DOF is very effective.
The way you have blurred the background to 'get it out of the way' is very nice. Not distracting in any way. Lets the subject really stand out of the photo to be noticed.
The colors are nice. The purple flowers on the green background fit the challenge nicely.

Color of the flowers is very nice, however, in my opinion, the shot has been oversharpened to the point of being excessive, especially the 'halos' around the edges of the flowers themselves.
You used a good DOF here but the flowers are over exposed and and over processed I believe. I have these tulips in pink and I found them very hard to photograph also for some reason. Back up a bit to get the focus just right as this flower does not seems to take well to macro.
Appears to be oversharpened, which hurts the shot a bit. Lovely colors, though. You might want to play around with different compositions, this has potential.
Nice image. I like the idea you had for shooting this image. Although, i believe that the lighting should be a little better, and that the focus should be altered better as well.
Hmm. I like the image, but there's something wrong with it - the white fringes on the flowers look overly sharp, but the centres look overly smooth. Not sure why. Still, I would crop it a little - too much empty space round the edge. Like the pastel colours.
