The extremely shallow DOF is deliberate!

Different perspective. The colours are nice. The selective focussing gives a different look to the image. Thanks for sharing.

The petals are nicely blurred. Just near the lower bottom portion, one petal is a bit up and it appears as out of focus and obstructs the view. Raising the camera a bit or gently pushing down that petal a bit would have been better. In selective focussing, it becomes difficult as there are many stamens here. Selective focussing will work with a flower that has one or two stamens with a pollen at the top.
