First the background is to busy the building is very distracting. Secondly the leaf going right to left from behind the flower does nothing to help.
If possible I would have repositioned the shot for a better background, or changed lens so as to further blur the background. Also looking at this small picture I would guess that the original is quite noisy, and would have done adjustments for hue/saturation, contrast, luminescence/ld
colour/cd, and maybe added spotlight and worked on shadows.

The black background that so many here do would look nice.

Besides the distracting background that Macromad mentinoed, there is some strange banding happening behind the flower. I also appears to be underexposed by a 1/2 stop or so.

Don't plan on winning the contest. Out of focus and poor composition. It's a snapshot.

This was a second photo I entered. I had entered another photo under the same category as well.

It's not bad, but unfortunately it is not a contest winner. The building is distracting and it is slightly OOF.
