A nice eye to see this composition, Lori. It looks like your focus on the outer surface of the bud was right on as there's lots of detail there. I do think the image would be helped by more depth of field as the oof stem is a bit of a distraction and there seems to even be some loss of detail on the red flower itself.

But some things you do know or can guess at. You know the camera and the lens. You can guess it is fairly low ISO from the lack of noise. You know the lens was set at a fairly wide open setting from the shallow DOF. Probably it was shot in pretty bright light and hand held at a fairly fast shutter. All this information is important to a helpful critique.
I will agree with Dennis on the DOF, which is the single most important takeaway. I would also clone out the blown dot on the emerging poppy.

This is a cool close up of an alien looking flower Lori.
