Technicals: I think you did fairly well with the lighting. I think there are some unfortunate highlights on the detrius around the flowers. I like the diagonal composition though. It is possible you could have gotten away from a mild "snapshot" feel by getting lower and shooting a little more "across" the flowers. I like the juxtaposition of the flowers and the dead leaves, but would have preferred a different color on the leaves. A dark brown would have been nicer. Don't know if they would have gone that color if you had wet things down. Look at a picture of mine called "reincarnation" and notice the rich browns these dead leaves gave.
The feel: like I said, I like the juxtaposition between life and death. However, appealwise, the dead leaves take away from the picture. One possibility is to burn around the edges to make them darker.
