Well done, I was playing with the same shot for the foliage challenge. The grain works well with this. I feel the whole leaf should be in focus, but just my preference.
I don't think your bokeh background really adds anything to the way the photo is viewed and could be considered more Shallow DOF. The photo is plain and simple which is nice, but there is nothing really to give it an extra boost or to make it stand out. The black and white is a great look for it.
Well done - such a good choice with the BW. Personally, I'm not a fan of grain, so it would have been even more marvelous with a little smoothing. But that's just a matter of taste.
