Lovely.
Thanks for sharing.

Altogether a well done shot. I could suggest going a little tighter on the crop as the composition strikes me as a trifle busy, but it works well as is.

I was thinking 4x6 with the top just above the upper blossom might be more effective, but I'd keep the leaves whole, as it just makes a nicer view.

I do wish the main blossom were a bit sharper, but some of that is probably the size we're viewing on the web. If not, feel free to get more aggressive with unsharp mask.

Here is a suggestion for a more focused composition, with a boost to midtones so that the flower petals stand out, and a fairly aggressive does of unsharp mask (threshold 15, radius 0.7, 180%)

A delicate bloom captured well.
