I think it is a good composition, which would have been made better if the background was rendered soft with a more minimal depth of field. When I shoot flowers or other plants and the scene or background is busy, I always try for a soft bokeh. It is more difficult than people think, It is, more often than not, a compromise, due to the inherent limited DOF. I also try to vary the focus point, because trying to see the true range of sharp focus through a dark prism, is very difficult.

Perhaps because it does not seem to rise above a documentary, textbook-illustration type of shot?

Flower and vegetation shots generally get the same kinds of responses (but see Julian's unusual and striking images). Put a bird or mammal in the centre and you get more attention.
