This struck me immediately because of that rich, mellow color.
Beautifully photographed with perfect balance.

Love the soft late-day light you've found here. That feel really sets the flower off to the best.

Beautiful late evening sunlight used in this really helps this shot shine through. Crisp.

I love the light tips of the petals. I think the center of the flower gets lost in the shadows and that throws the balance off on the photo. A quick and dirty dodging of the center would brighten that right up.

The green in the background draws your eye away from the flower also. For me it almost flattens the image, because the green is coming forward and fighting for attention. If you desaturate the greens a bit you keep the interesting textures while allowing the flower to be the star.

Lots of wasted space on the left, with the background being too dark this is overpowering. I keep peering into that darkness to try and find something else after I've looked at the sharp flower.
