Flower photography falls into the fine art category. Fine art is something to be displayed, framed and hanging on a wall for example, and appreciated simply for it's beauty. Would you hang this on your wall? More importantly, with your name attached to it, would you want it hanging on someone else's wall? Remove the pot and the stick, and the artistic value of this photo increases tenfold. The truth is, I think you knew that, and that's a good thing. It's progress. But that leads me to my next questions:
Instead of providing disclaimers about focus issues due to wind and the addition of heavy vignetting, why post this photo at all? Why share this composition when it clearly isn't ready to be shared? The ceiling of the Sistine Chapel wasn't painted overnight.
Be selective with your shots. If you see something that you want to convey to the rest of us, then it's worth waiting for, isn't it? This isn't fishing. We don't want to hear about the ones that got away, we want the keepers. If a shot doesn't turn out the way you want, then do it over. If that stick needs to be removed, then take it out.
The point is, you know what the issues are here. You knew before you even posted. If this isn't an accurate representation of what you want, then wait for the right time. Go back and re-do this one if you can. Fix the issues you wrote about. Make sure you're shooting in RAW, work on the composition, and check for sharp focus.
