This had a watercolor result that I really liked right from the camera. Post processing: cropped to center the flower, burned leaves and petals to fade background and bring out details, cloned out dirt, adjutsted levels, resized

subject could is very interresting. Picture too grainy and out of focus.

Nice soft color, the thing that makes it for me is the little piece that is broken off, shows that the bloom is not perfect, or eternal, but is deteriorating. 8

I like the one petal that has fallen off, it's a nice touch. Good bg, I like the soft focus.

Nice pastel colors against a perfect dark background. The "fallen off" stamen on the lower leaf is a great touch. It's a bit soft.

Over exposed.

Nice photo overall, but I would change it in the following ways: lessen the lighting it is getting, fill the background with more petals (to cover the green), show more contrast between petals with different lighting, focus a little clearer on the pink center, it's a bit out of focus. I like the feel of the photo.
