What a beautiful bloom, lovely gentle soft light, wonderful floral detail.
Nicely done.
Personally, I would add a slight vignette, to kill the empty space top right and damage (top left), to really make the flower the focus of viewer attention.

Love the light and detail, and you did a wonderful job of emphasizing the contrasts in color and texture.  I'd prefer a slightly lower angle on the bloom, but doing so would ruin the background and, therefore, the overall impact (IMHO).  I'd give Swissblad's suggestion a try, too (not that I would have thought of that myself. . . .)

Beautiful, love the soft pink colour and delicate feel of the flower contrasting the thorns of the cactus.

Thank you for your comments and suggestion. I will correct the unsightly top left and negative space on the right slightly. Thanks much everyone!
