This is so sweet so natural and I love the softness of the orange yellow petals overlapping and cupping each other in sheer beauty. It seems to fade away towards the bottom below the water droplets, but feel the bright green background does take away some of its beauty.... My suggestion is that I like to see this cropped just below the water droplets without the green and feel it would be much improved.
GOOD TRY
THANK YOU for entering this lovely FRAGRANT FLORAL image

I really, really like the orange and pinks together (so Shez!) and the water drops set it off even better. I really don't like the green at all. Perhaps blue would have been a better compliment? Or perhaps a Sherpet Signature Square crop?
