I think it looks sharp in some areas but your DOF is too shallow.

I'll leave this one for the experts to critique.

You missed focus completely by not understanding DOF. The stamen of a Plant is like the eye of a portrait. It must be TACK sharp.All of it. heres how sharp it has to be. This is 100% crop. And barrys right. no flowers for first 10 unless they are spectacular in focus and Lighting.......And Uniqueness.

Beside having too shallow a DOF, and the stamen being the most important part, the image is underexposed needs to look more like this with a less cluttered background

It looks good on black. My pink one, below, sells regularly. The partial red one, not as much.
