Really needed a tripod on this one. The lighting was not very good. Surprised I got it this good. Used Picasa to adjust the basics and PS to adjust levels, curves, saturation and USM.

As you have already noted, your lack of a tripod hurt you in this one.
I'd have to agree with others, there doesn't appear to be a point of interest. The sharpest area is along the lower left, and then it appears to have edges that are bit overly defined in the green areas, almost over sharpening. (Could be optical illusion.)
Was this after a storm, or dry period? The flowers look like they are distressed, either from a storm or wilting from drought or age.
Along with a tripod, I would suggest plucking dead brown and dying blooms. Unless it is a mood piece on sorrow or death, flowers usually are accepted best when bright and healthy.
