Image looks dark to me. The composition is nice. Looks like there is some ghosting on the top part of the open flower in the background.

I agree with the comments. I see some ghosting as well.

I do wish for a cleaner Back ground and NR would also help.

Mitch I think this is a really trick subject but you have rendered the detail in the white petals well. The background in this plant is always going to be busy and there's not a whole lot you can do about it without introducing a falsie or something like that. I would suggest a little less saturation and increase exposure keeping an eye on the highlights.
