These white flowers are drastically underexposed. When taking pictures of white objects -- or any object with a bright background -- your camera will set the exposure to achieve average 18% gray. So you must up the exposure to get it right.

Secondly, your choice of aperture did not take into account that the bunch is globular in shape. So there's very little that's in focus.

Look to have a blue cast to them as well...

Agree with Joedlh, you can try to correct the exposure and white balance in Photoshop but unfortunately not much can be done with such a shallow depth of field.

The shallow dof was intentional, precisely what i was looking for - i will certainly check the white balance and exposure again in post

I feel that it is not Macro enough for the subject. However I do like the exposure-color and shape. I would much rather see this in broad sunlight though. WB is off. These flowers came out through sunlight. Use that as your aid.
