Panasonic G3 with 45-200mm Lumix lens.

Simple. Pleasing. Refreshingly different. Well done.
I'll add that there is nothing to add nor nothing to subtract.

A classical beauty.

Beautiful and elegant. Well done!

I agree compositionally fabulous. That being said, the spots on the lower right are distracting to me. Spot 'em out?

My thoughts exactly.

The spots don't bother me. I think they're an interesting pattern that adds a certain character to the flower.

I thought about removing those spots, and actually did remove a few other small blemishes. But, the way those spots are arranged in an almost geometrical grid fascinates me and adds, perhaps, a tough of mystery, so I decided to leave them.

All (appropriate) praise due to the artist. It's a fabulous photo.

I feel the image is not satisfying because the light-toned flower is not perfect and, I suspect, not perfectly sharp.
If this image is about the beauty of the flower and how it contrasts with the shade and texture of the leaf in the background, I consider the flower should be beautiful but it has blemishes (top left), bumps/dents (mid-right), creases in the spine (just above the mid-point of the spine) and a few folds/creases (top right quadrant).
I do not mind the spots in the lower right quadrant because they are regular and in a pattern.
There is a strange small burst of light just above where the edge of the flower meets the edge of the leaf and this should be toned down.
I would like to see some highlights in the dark leaf but accept that it may not improve the image

I fear that the flower of your dreams exists only in the fairy realm of Photoshop, or maybe here: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/categories/departments/decoration/12806/#
I like this picture and all its "imperfections".

Lovely shot Peter.
Please leave the spots.
