| This is very pretty, my only suggestion would be to move it away from dead center in the frame. |

| Good use of DOF. Normally, I'm against centered focal points and I'm not sure you've convinced me here. I think a tighter crop would have worked a bit better. Overall, good evocation of mood. |

| Very subtle fade in to the rose. the pinkish white spot is somewhat distracting. |

| Interresting DOF. The single light part of the rose is a nice touch. I like the overal dark tone of it. This could work for anniversary, birthday, just general as well. I usually don't like centered subject matter, but this one seems to work. |
