I really wish the wall were not in the foreground blocking the subject so much.

I'm afraid I don't completely understand your intentions here:
the background is a perfect night shot, superbly exposed, showing a great technical skill.
The foreground is so obviously deliberately blured and invading - but in my opinion it's working against the excellence of your background, and also against aesthetic.
Why ?

The blurry part in the lower right hand side is killing this beautiful night picture.

Sorry if I sound like a broken record, but the OOF wall in front grabs my attention away from the pretty building in back.

Would have liked it cropped to about 2/3... the left hand confuses my eye too much

When in doubt go to Rome. Photo a little to dark, open up your ISO.

Nice capture, the flower has to many flaws on its pedals. When shooting flowers you need to fined the very best of the bunch.

I love the intricate detail you can find in the centre of a flower! I would like to have seen more of the centre in focus and possibly a shallower DOF on the petals so the bad parts on the petals weren't too noticeable.

This is just my humble opinion.
