No comments? Outrageous ... so here's one.
Intersting to read your comments on the shot - and an interesting idea, and approach. Like the variable soft focus of the misted lens trick.
The composition lets you down somewhat though - as much in that the farm implement isn't recognisable at all, and the dead-centre positioning of your main subject. This way the flower becomes the sole sibject of your image, and the rusted thing merely the background - if you were to include enough of the rusted thing to make it recognisable, and place the flower at a stronger part of the frame I think you'd have a more successful photograph - put simply, there'd be more going on to hold interest: the tric being to compose the image so that the areas of interest are prioritised to your audience.
