Nice shot! Colour balance is probably a bit cooler than I'd prefer - the other one seems warmer IMO. Composition feels a bit centred. Also not sure about the DOF, the near florets aren't quite well enough seperated from the ones in bokeh. Perhaps less uniform lighting would help make them pop a bit more? I also suspect that getting in closer would pay dividends - the pompom like flowers are lovely as are the almost atom-like buds, but they don't stand out as well as I think they should.

Try cropping down a bit.  I also did a bit of Levels adjusting.

I agree with Adrian.  More DOF might have been a good thing here.  Carrying focus back further while smoothing out the background might have been better.  You've got two subjects, buds and blossoms.  Both should be shown.

No worries. I have some in the backyard i will practise on :-) The DOF is challenging with the details of the buds and flowers :-)
