Nice vibrant color. I will agree (*) with theblue on the softness of the image. Maybe that's what the photographer was hoping for but, shifting back a bit to include the rest of the rose composition may help this visually? Personal call. Markjay
Just a tad soft for me.
The shot may well have been better if not taken as a close up but taken filling the frame with the geometrics of the rose.
