Out of focus. Your background is too cluttered (more blurred background would help). The right side of the rose is overexposed as well. Could also use some color pop.
I hate to say it, but this image has a great many problems... The focus is not very good, which will always get you hit hard here... the color of the rose is not appealing, and the righthand side is badly overexposed; background is very busy and distracting.
Terrible misuse of the apostrophe! (sorry I'm very pedantic). Looks like a lovely rose and the water in the background is nice, but the fact that the central rose isn't in focus will hurt your scores.
