this image is 100% theee original with no tweaking.i think its way to grainy, the background to ever present and too centered but is i still like it haha!.ok stop me i'm i being too harsh???. OK the camera is a lumix DMC-FZ20 the shot was taken at iso 80,1/250, f5.5,and at 23.201 mm. hope this is specific enough

Hi! I love the lighting on the flowers - the way it highlights a few places, especially. I don't see any graininess at all. I hope you don't mind, but I downloaded the picture and worked it a little in photoshop. I cloned out the background, because I think you are right, it is a little distracting. And I cropped it a little. But overall, I really like it.

I don't see graininess... what I think you see is noise in the shadows, caused by the low light. You can take some of that out via Lightroom in post, if you don't want to alter the original much more than that. Color is rich and beautiful. Hand held or tripod?
