The focus and colors on this image are wonderful. I suggest a few additional actions:
1) Crop even closer. You have the sharp details and pixels to crop this image to 100% keeping just the butterfly and thistle heads with the butterfly positioned at the upper 1/3 intersection of the frame.
2) Get closer, physically and / or via the zoom. The image reports 126mm on a 70-300 zoom. Put the largest image onto the sensor possible. So, when your crop into the resulting 6000x4000 file (point #1) you have pixels enough to have a large file that doesn't need to be cropped from the 100% view.
3) Watch your aperture as you zoom above 200mm. The file reports the 70-300 IS II at f/5.6. Great results for wide open!! Canon should contact you for this image for the marketing team supporting this lens.
Typically, zooms covering the 70-300 range will get a bit softer at the maximum zoom when wide open and stepped down to f/8 will provide better results. I don't have this lens so I defer to your results and experimentation at increased zoom levels.

Excellent image. I agree with Paul. Get closer. Enjoy your new journey.
