This image fits the challenge well, but unfortunately lacks the impact of a winning image. The focus is spot on and definitely shallow, but the background is a bit busy. The green leaves in the background against the white provide a a contrast that draws my eyes away from the subject.
The brown branches are the main distraction, which is a shame. I feel they could have been used to your advantage if you had moved your perspective up and to the left just a bit. What I am thinking of is moving the subject out from in front of the branches -- this allows the strong diagonal lines to frame the subject, pushing the viewers attention back onto the flower.
Dispite these few complaints, it made a strong finish squarely in the middle area of the voting pack. This area is hard to get out of, but careful attention to compositional details will get you through it. Good luck.
