Overall, I believe this turned out to be a nice looking photograph. However, I do sense that it does not seem balanced. But then again, neither does the person behind the camera. I did increase contrast and then brought back the lighting and then did what I could to eliminate as much noise as possible. Please feel free to offer any comments/suggestions.

There is no detail in the red petals. They are washed with the color. The light may be a bit too intense on the flower itself.
I see two issues with this photo. The first is the lack of detail in the petals and the second is where your focus is. It looks like you are focused on the green leaf behind the flower.
It is another example where a scrim would be of benefit. By holding the scrim carefully placed, you could have had the darker red with more details and softer shadows in the petals and still kept the light in the background.
Did you focus and recompose? This technique very often leads to back-focus as you move ever so slightly closer with the camera when you recompose.

It appears to me that I focused on the pistil. Thanks again for mentioning the scrim. I will make a note of it.

Well it appears to me that I focused on the pisti, dead center. Thanks for mentioning the scrim, I will make note of it. This issue of working around red is to say the least, annoying.
Thanks again, Peter.
