Macro lighting (via flash) is tough to get it so that it looks natural. You image has is clean and sharp (the water drops gives a freshness look to the flower). I would suggest that you try shooting at a slight angle to get more depth to the image (and get the image off dead center).

Thanks ya'll! And thanks for the advice John, out of the few photos I took I think the ones that were shot at an angle didn't turn out as sharp as this one for whatever reason.
