Tripod setup, natural lighting on an overcast day, low f-stop chosen for best "bokeh" of this flower nestled in between other flowers so it did not appear isolated but part of it's natural environment. Shot multiple flowers from multiple angles to get different backgrounds and lighting.

for me this is lacking in the clarity and sharpness...do you see the stamen (??) on the flower to the left of the main one...to me that is what your main one should look like...nice razor sharpness.
Composition is a bit off for me(too tight at the top, too much space at the bottom). I feel that it could be a bit brighter/better exposed. But you've got nice detail there.
