I used PhotoShop3 and simply added some warmth. The composition struck me as i was sitting on the couch. The image was shot using natural lighting. I am new to this and I am looking for all the advice I can get. Thank you.

Glad to see you participating here. It tends to be a tough crowd, but that makes it all the better when you get good comments from people.
I like what you "saw" - the shape and position of the orchid is nice.
With non-DSLR cameras, you'll want to avoid higher ISO settings - these add (typically) too much grain (noise) to the picture. I try to shoot everything for DPChallenge at ISO 64 - as low ISO as I can get.
While people here tend to like out of focus foregrounds, your shot has too much out of focus foreground. They generally like the in-focus area to begin in the bottom 1/3 to mid-point in the picture, and then have the background out of focus as well. The non-DSLR cameras (at least my experience) have a tendency to focus on the background (wall in your case), and not on objects in the foreground.
Again, glad to see you participating here, and looking forward to seeing more of your work.
