*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*
A generally pleasing image that meets the challenge.
You’ve met the challenge well in your choice of scene which clearly shows the natural; surroundings in which the flowers are growing. Given your shooting aperture I would have expected there to be a sharp DOF including all the foreground elements but there is softness, perhaps this was your intention? If not, it suggests that the focus point was too far into the image possibly even the background rocks?
You have queried whether you should have used an ordinary lens as opposed to this macro lens, to be honest this is only relevant if you are actually using the macro facility itself but you are not here, you are too far away. The idea of the macro is to enable you to get 1:1 or larger images when you are very close to your subject.
With regard to saturating the greens, I think you've done a pretty good job, its so eaasy to get carried away and overdo it, but these look quite natural, so well done. One good thing about overcast light you can get some good saturation without harsh contrasts so whilst the lighting is flat it works well colours wise too.
Thank you for submitting an interesting image, Sid |

| I'm enjoying spending more time with this. It's my mini vacation. I can feel climbing on the rocks and breathing in the air. Thanks! |
