Shot with a shoot through umbrella on the left and another strobe bouced off the ceiling. Performed levels, curves, selective color, desat, and some healing brush to remove sensor dust. Also USM.

The light seems good, but in the interesting part of frame - where the focus is, on the right-hand side, that curve of the bigger petals, your shadows are very washed out, which makes a sense of real detail impossible to see, and makes the entire thing seem washed out.
I don't normally like small DOF shots but it really works here to create a sense of layering in the flower. Awesome colors and composition also great. Would have prefered the tips of the petals a bit more in focus as well.
