Colin, here goes, my first thoughts are its blurred and would look better with a very small border to hold the flower in the frame if that makes sense. It is also a bit flat. Being constructive if possible put the camera on a tripod, cant see what shutter speed you used as no EXIF. either you have camera blur from a slow shutter speed and the camera moved. Or the flower moved in the wind. If you meant it blurry i apologise!

I agree with Dennis, although I think it looks more just out of focus than blur.
I wonder how close you were to the flower, maybe it was a little closer than the minimum focus distance of the lens? Again as Dennis said, with the EXIF data we would have a better idea.
