If this was cross-processed, it would be beautiful.

Wonderful potential, just a lack of sharp focus... If this is intentional soft focus, it does not work for me.

perhaps needs to be sharper, too pale as well

May I suggest a little better focus would do the picture some good?

this has really nice color, but it is too blurry I am afraid.

Rather than resulting in a soft focus effect, this just looks like the DOF isn't as it should be. Good exposure, though.

It's got beautiful color and depth of field. It just doesn't appear to be in focus.

Since the center part of the rose is the darkest in color, that's where the eye goes (at least mine) and one wants to find that a little more in focus. Not crisp, necessarily - soft is fine - just a bit less blur. Nice light and color.

could be much better if the rose was less out of focus

I really would have preferred to see the center in very sharp focus.. Looks like there may have been a little motion blur wich imho takes away from the beauty of the shot.
