Compositionally, I think this shot could be cropped to emphasize the rule of thirds more, and to give it a stronger composition. I think cropping some off of the left and a lot off of the bottom would close the frame into the hand and the flower more, and wouldn't have the distracting empty space at the bottom. It doesn't quite fit the shot well enough to be "negative space" so it becomes a distraction rather than an asset. Also, that would set up a diagonal "line" between the flower and the hand, and would make the hand to appear out of nowhere. As a result, the viewer's eyes would go from flower to hand and back to flower.
Technically, I like the brightness and richness of the colors in this shot. There is a good balance of contrast, and the details are fabulous. The lighting may be a touch harsh, but I tend to like that effect.
Overall, it is a good shot that meets the challenge, if not in a direct way, at least in a subtle way.
Welcome to dpc, and I look forward to seeing more of your entries!
