No thoughts good or bad? I would like any feedback you have. Thanks.

Overall, I dont care too much for it for 3 reason:

1) Lack of background. The blossom is just there without anything else that says "peach tree", I would have like to have seen some out of focus branchs, other blossoms, etc to be the "what else" in the photo.

2) Forground out of focus. Rarely do you want the forground out of focus - and only if it is not a part of the subject. In this case, the most proximal petals are out of focus, and I find that that severly detracts from the overall image. Go back and try with a slightly higher f-stop. (If this was 4.0, try 6.7) and see if that gets the whole thing in focus.

3) When I a kid, I was responsible for scooping up the rotting, ant riddled peaches under the tree in the back yard.

The image is flat and the reason is because there's no depth to it - Rad's right it needs out of focus branches and blossom.
