I think you've picked a good flower to stand out from the others and got a nice sharp subject against a wonderfully creamy background...that I definately like and enjoy. I don't like the watermark as it's far too dominant and advertises a site that's coming soon. I'd rather my eye came to rest on the water drops than the advert for your site.

Composition wise I think putting the subject a wee bit higher to balance the space above and below the sharp flower and moving the camera right by about the same amount would have created an even stronger image by moving the focal point left of centre. Perhaps crop a wee bit in from the top left? (at least enough to remove the red strip on the left edge)

I'm not so keen on the deep shadow on the subject - I think more light on the front of it would make it stand out even more. Could you have used a reflector or shot at a different time of day?

Hope this helps....and please forgive me if you think I've gone on a bit. I do that sometimes....
