You have a nice and pleasing image here. The DOF is nice and the focus is sharp on what is supposed to be. The general composition is good too. It is cropped well and has a good balance to it.
I think a slight bump in saturation could have made the image pop a bit more. But probably the biggest thing that prevented you from scoring higher is just a lack of WOW power to it. It is nice and technically proficient IMO. But the interest factor is a bit low. For a flower shot to do really well in a FS it must really stand out, have an edge that makes it different. 5.8 isnt horrible mind you and the 2 faves can make up for alot.
Looking at your portfolio you have alot of great, creative and strong images. Keep up that good work and I loko forward to seeing more of your entries in the future! Goodluck!
... Remind me after the challenge - one of the stock sites I belong to (not a micro) has a job request for tulips right now. It's paying out $50 if your image is used.

I like how the 3 tulips stand out from the others. Adds interest and keeps what could easily be a static image from being stale. Very good color, and the technicals are right on. Good luck in the challenge.
