Compositionally, I think this could be made stronger if it weren't quite so centered. You have a good idea with the red flower on a black background, and I do like how it largely fills the frame. Because it is almost centered, though, it makes it feel very static. Perhaps you could experiment with various crops and rotations and see if it made a difference. Even extreme crops where part of the flower out of the frame could help to add interest.
Technically, the color is great. The "hot spot" on the flower, though, really grabs the viewer's attention. Since that particular spot is out of focus,the rest of the shot "feels" out of focus, even though you do have clearly defined focus areas on the flower. Again, playing with the composition may enable you to minimize the distraction of the bright spot, and emphasize the areas that are have clarity and detail.
Overall, I think it is a good idea, and it does meet the challenge, at least in my opinion.
