What the hell is a dirty martini? I like how the white flower is quite sharp. Diagonal composition is nice.

Your lighting and BG choices are very nice. My only thought is that you might consider simplifying the composition next time by removing all but one flower. Methinks you'll gain some impact. Good luck!

HEE HEE - cute idea. That funky mauvy pink background kind of distracts a bit for me. Love the tilt. Good focus. Good DOF. 7
