Nice flower and composition.
But ... It suffers from serious blocking of highlights in the red
channel. Notice how the interior petals at teh top can only be
distinguished by the funny outlines of their edges. Also, the solid
blocks of red with no texture or detail. Flower petals always have
subtle detail and texture.
It's an old problem with red, yellow and orange flowers in direct sun,
but much worse with digital sensor systems. The solution is to set
negative exposure for such subjects, and check the red histogram, if
your camera allows.
