A beautiful flower and nice lighting. I believe your photo could have been improved by by having the background all black. There is something in the lower right background which keeps pulling my eye to it. I also think either a wider crop where the petals aren't cut off or a tighter crop would make a more dramatic photo.

Very nice, sharp, vivid, crisp, great DOF, maybe a diff crop to get a leading line or diag line or rule of third? Still a great image!

Vibrant colors! Crisp clarity. There are some white specks in the lower right petals I would have removed. I would also have blackened the entire background since the majority of it is already black. The green is a bit distracting.
