I must say this is an amazing piece of art, truly powerful.

Pros:
This has amazing color, the flower its self is fantastic, and the water on it just complments it even more! The blue itself is jaw dropping. Just looking at this makes me feel good inside, as if nothing today will go wrong!

Cons:
Not to original, there are many, many images of flowers on deviantart, although I do have to give some points for the water on it. Also it seems a wee bit dark, having some sunlight shine on it wouldn't hurt it too much.

Ways To Improve:
Add some diversity into your art, maybe the flower growing on something, or the sun falling ontop the flower.

Final Note:

Out of all, this is one of the best images of a flower I've seen in my life.
