First, congratulation on a wonderful photograph and high finish. I love the concept and execution of this image to convey "happy time" for yourself. Good composition with the focal point in the bottom third intersection, strong use of negative space helps to convey your desire for personal time by my interpretation. Colors are vibrant, and not oversaturated.

I do believe you pushed the limit with the sharpening, and in is overdone in my opinion along the rim of the face of the clock and petals.

I like the DOF you chose, but I wonder how this would have looked at f/11, thus bringing the foreground in to greater focus.

I gave this a 6 during voting due to the sharpening. Cleaner processing would have recieved a higher vote from me.

Nice work. Cheers, Ben

Beautifully done. Love the gradient background, the colors, the detail on the face, the concept. Because this is so good, I'll be picky and say it looks like the petals may have been a bit over sharpened.
