This is a very nicely composed shot. The subject if off center and that is usually a good thing
Background/ Foreground
The shallow DOF has the background blurred but the foreground is also blurry. It is hard to see exactly where your focal point is.
Camera Work:
The focus is off which makes the whole shot seem blurry. I like colors they are crisp and bright.
Post-Processing:
I might have tried a tighter crop to get rid of the green on the left.
My Opinion:
I think the members comments are right on for the most part. A better focus and better DOF would have made this a much better shot.

Best of luck in your future photographic endeavors,
I like the tome of the colours here. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a focal point here for me. If I look hard, it appears the the very center of the flower is in focus with a high degree of dof for the rest. Unfortunately, most voters will not see it and will vote according to the belief that the entire picture is out of focus. On a another point, parts of the pic appear to be overexposed.
5 - Nice. Softness works here in my opinion. Having said that, still like to see a little more definition, even in the lines/shapes. Perhaps a little more height too, not sure. Difficult, but the colors tweaked more, especially for the Challenge. A sharper angle/perspective to reduce that 'gray' also.
