I can tell what you saw and why you wanted to capture it.
That's the good thing.
What many do not realize that what looks beautiful to our eye doesn't always translate to a photo.
The first problem here is harsh, uneven light. Try shooting the same subject during one of the golden hours. Sometimes that's not possible so what I often do is place my body between the sun and the flower, putting it in shade and giving an even light at least. You can crop out the blue thing and with some careful cloning get rid of the red flower.
Also, your background, though pretty well blurred, has distracting subjects...what looks like a blue handle on the left and that red flower to the right, You can crop out the blue thing and with some careful cloning get rid of the red flower.
I hate to add that its also not in sharp focus. Your focus should probably be on the closest flower in this case. You may have been too close for your lens.
After all that, I'd like to say that you obviously have an eye for beauty and should definitly keep shooting. Read critiques and give critiques, even if you don't feel qualified. Definitly one of the best ways to learn.
