What is the center of interest?
The bottom two flowers are the most in focus but which one is the important one?
There are two virtually identical flowers, you need to show by focus and placement which one is important.
Otherwise the viewer's eyes skip back and forth.

The dof is about 3 inches and it looks like you've missed focus on everything but the anthers of the lowest flower - and even they look oof.
Why is the only in-focus part so close to the edge?

Just a tiny bit out of focus.. slight blur throughout the entire photo.. just work on the focus and it would be beautiful...
