Welcome, @JosephC.!
Very pretty! Good contrast in colors, and excellent background blur. This is extremely necessary for flowers, especially small ones like this. It makes me feel miniature, close to the beauty of a woodland floor.
I don’t know how much you have already cropped this image, but to me it feels there’s too much empty space on the left. The flower stem is to the right of the right third.
You might have wanted to remove the brownish, yellowish stem protruding from the bottom center of the picture that points to the base of the flower. I assume it could have been easily broken off or bent out of the frame.
It might be fun to bring along a spray bottle to add some droplets of water to the delicate petals.
