Excellent lighting and the shadows its producing look great. unfortunately I think the bug is going to cost you points, especially because you used the term sympathy, and very few people have sympathy for bugs.
This seems a tad out of focus to me. I think a single blossom would denote the sense of a loss better than two. I'd clone out the bug as it doesn't realy lend itself to the category you chose. I like the idea of the fully opened blossom - like it's served it's time here on earth.
