The first thing I notice about this is that the shot seems quite busy. The dots in the center with the lines of the petals almost seem to clash. Might not have been a big deal, but with the lack of color, the attention is automatically drawn to the textures of the photo making it seem busier than it probably actualyl is.
Focus is great. Nice detail. Almost too much actually.
The tonal range is good, but maybe a bit on the flat side. It all seems to be just about in the middle. There are nice darks, but not much brights/whites visible.
I like the way you have set the flower off to the side and didn't put it dead center of the photo. This adds a visual appeal to the image as a whole and sets it apart from 'just another flower shot'.
The lighting to me is also very nice. I like the way the shadows follow the petals down. Nice depth.
There is a spot of light in the background in the lower left corner which creates a bit of a distraction. Nothing totally serious, but something noticable.
Overall, fits the challenge by creating awesome detail in the flower, but leaving it a bit busy.

This is nice and the duotone is well done, but I don't respond that positively to it and I'm not sure why.
