Either the focus is a bit off or it's compression. Great colors and saturation and the composition is also very good. The background (brown branch) could have been blurred a bit more but it's not overly distracting in it's current state as the bright color of the flowers really grab one's attention.
I think having more water drops would have helped. Good focus and use of light, but I wish the DOF was a little tighter (specifically to reduce the effect of the sticks in the upper-right. Did you consider a diagonal crop to eliminate them?
I really like the subject and the composition. For my taste I think this image could have been a little stronger if taken at a different time of day. Maybe early morning of late evening. That would give the pedals a richer color and more depth to the image. The harsh light makdes it look a little flat.
