Nice comp, Gus! I see a little noise in the flower right where it comes out of the green portion; some kind of artifact right in the middle of the image; and the part of the flower that is sharpest looks either over-sharpened or something? Was it a large crop? Not sure what that is. This is so potentially pretty, I think I would reshoot it, or maybe just re-process it.
I love that the shallow DOF draws my eye across to the stem - but once I get there, there are JUST a few grains of sand? aphids? on the green stem that you might take out to make it as clean as the flower. I guess this is influenced by the title. Can't have your bride going down the aisle with aphids.... :)

I love the motion in this image, reminds me of a great ocean wave.
There is something strange going on with the sharpening I think. Just above the stem on the petal side, there are strange squiggles that continue to the right and down. Are they intentional?
