Three comments.
1) You didn't wait for a nice, bright but cloudy day...hence the over blown regions caused by the direct sunlight. 2) You shot f/25...which offers plenty of depth on this large Rhododendron bud...however, you haven't applied enough USM to reboot the line/edge definition...back to say, an f/11 level...or you didn't use a tripod and thus the image is kinda soft. 3) You cropped this one too tight with nothing at the bottom of the frame to balance the image.
