Beautiful flower and lovely photo of it. Colors are wonderful, i like red flowers a lot, sorry, have no idea what this is. Composition is excellent, focus and depth of field too, but in my opinion you should have done something with the contrast, seems a bit flat, probably the lighting was not very good.

Thank you so much for your throuought review and your Input. I already increased the contrast some. Seams not enough. I'll see if I could do more. Absolute right with the light. Early morning on a foggy and rainy day. I couldn't get a better shot since the flower got ruined by the rainstorm.
