I like certain things here Ronald, but there are a couple of things that i might change. I like the splash of color, and the range and attitude of the blooms. For me, the light colored thing coming in from the left bothers me. I would also lose the branch in the upper left corner.

Edit: One more thing, Ronald. I am not sure if the blooms were growing this way or not, but rotating the shot 90 degrees CW seems to help for me.

Ronald - I agree for the most part with what Nathan has mentioned. My initial thought was to see this flipped 90 deg CW. I would look at the possibility of darkening that white patch in the background.

I like the many orientations for the blooms and the wind swept petals which imply dancing in the wind.
