The image isn't very crisp, and nothing is in sharp focus, and I know people will probably say something about your composition and the way the flowers are cut off. So, this is purely my personal preference, but I would flip the image horizontally. I don't mind your composition at all, but it would work a lot better if there was something in focus.

The lack of sharpness may be down to the slow shutter speed (1/20s). I am guessing that, although it was noon, either the sky was overcast or the flowers were in shadow.

If you had more light on the flowers, you could use a faster shutter speed; if it was only on the flowers, then that would make the background darker, improving the contrast too.
