Sidsel, I really like your composition, especially how you have focused on one of the buds to make it your center-of-interest while rhyming its shape and color in the two out-of-focus buds in the background.  There is nothing distracting about the far background at all--another plus.  As a suggestion, it looks like the whites are not quite bright enough giving the image a slight washed out look (and part of this could very well be my monitor). I adjusted the white point in Photoshop's Levels then added a bit of contrast...all just a suggestion (I'll try to attach the sample image).  Another thing you might experiment with is a version in which you crop out the lower part of the image (the white and the water) to just concentrate on the flower.  Overall, though, you have made a very pleasing and calm creation here.

Thank you for your comment and your suggestions. I see it's an improvement and I'll keep it in mind for this years snowdrops.
