A sad image, the perfect flower fallen, and drifting away on the ater. It's beautiful, but it would be so much better if you had not clipped those two petal edges.
When something like this happens it can pay to crop much more tightly, to make the cut-off look deliberate. I shall have a go.
You won't have any real control of settings but the phone has served you well here. Low F number = large aperture = shallow depth of field. That means that the reflections in the water are soft, while the detail of surface tension is clear and clean.
Apart from cropping, if you can add a wee bit of sharpening it will make the water droplets sparkle. I'm off to try a modification.

Well seen, as most people wouldn't think of photographing a fallen flower.
It looks good against that neutral background but would be so much better without the clipped petals.
It's a static subject so isn't going to go away, so you can take a little time to find the best composition, or indeed try different compositions which you can study later and decide on your favourite.
