How clear this picture is, is simply amazing. The white to blie contrasting colors help bring the subject out a lot. Great work

Nice job, just enough DOF for my taste, I like the back flower being a little OOF

Very nice! I think a picture of flower is pretty cliche in this challenge, but in my opinion you nailed this one. Nicely done.

The contrast of the white and blue put emphasis on the flower and the red dots in the center put emphasis on that. The green pods also balance the photograph.
