I like your idea to capture the red shadows, but the little white flowers and leafs kinda look out of place. I think you should have either shown more of them or none of them at all.
Was the rose really that purple, or is the color from the flash? Also, it doesn't seem quite as sharp as it could be and the shadow isn't really the focus of the photo IMO. Sorry.
The image appears to be too saturated, and the edge of the flower is cut off unevenly -- I think it would be much more striking a bit toned down, and zoomed out slightly
Overpowering red/pink! So much so, at first, I thought this was out of focus. Shadows, barely work. This might have been a good choice to make black and white, see the other rose shot in this challenge (it's black and white with two roses). See if you don't agree with me.
