Shot indoors, and part of what I liked was the odd flatness almost illustrative quality of the colors and the haloing the light gave the petals of the unedited original (above).
I dont know I would have edited it differently, but lighting that is too similar to editing errors seems to be an error.

Great color and composition. I think in your processing you have smoothed out the textures a bit too much. Whether through de-noise or whatever process you used. It just doesn't look natural and it is over-processed in that respect. It might be over-sharpened because I can see some digital artifacts around the outlines of the petals, leaves and stem. (perhaps that is due to the processing on the sky.
