Very Humorous!! This would make fun stock photo if you can reshoot it with a different background to complement the flower, and increase the lighting.Maybe loose two of the plates on the bar. (A better crop might help a little too!)

The whole image seems slightly out of focus, or at least very soft. I can see the handle of the dumbell is shap but the flower is quite soft particularly in the petals

Shame your dumbell has been cropped. Great lighting, colours and saturation.

I feel like you could crop alot of the bottom and the picture would look better, and I feel like the picture could be alot sharper, Good idea and good lightning :)
