The cactus flowers are just lovely and of course the fact that they were a gift from your sister makes them extra special. I love that you captured three blooms and I like the way they are situated within the frame.

I like the soft focus on the petals and I love that they are white. The eye is drawn into the yellow center and then back out over the petals, the dark background works well to emphasize the blooms . I like also the pretty leaves in the lower frame,
You have managed the light nicely, the colors appear natural.
Well composed and presented!
Best wishes to you in this contest.
