Technically I think that it is good. The central point of the picture, the stamen, is sharp and the exposure appears to be spot on. These are important factors. Sharpness particularly.
There are a couple of issues. When taking pictures of flowers it is best to avoid strong light or you can wash out some of the colour which has happened here slightly on some of the petals. I would also review the composition. You want to have eye drawn into the picture and here the flower is very central and facing downwards. This causes the eye to fall out of the bottom of the shots. I would experiment with putting the stamen on a 1/3, cropping and flipping the image so that the line through the centre of the flower is on an upward diagional across the frame.
You have a very central flower and large depth of field which tends to make this more of a record shot. Try experimenting with a limited depth of field as well with flowers as this can help produce a more artistic image.
As I said, technically this is very good.
