I'm afraid the image as a whole does not work for me. The part that is in reasonable focus is not the part my eye is drawn to.

Not exactly a stumper. I like the image but it falls short of the challenge theme.

Careful with the vibration and motion on macro's even with a tripod a manual shutter release should be used as even a tiny movement like breathing can distort the focus.

How did you get such a grainy rims? It's not appealing for a flower shot, neither puzzling.

A carnation? A bit soft and fuzzy, might help if it were more in focus.
