A perfect capture of a prized flower. Looks like velvet. Very good.

Good the contrast between red and black. In the center of rose it is difficult to recognize different levels

Red is a very tough color to capture without it either bleeding together or getting a blue bounce to the photo. The red appears to have bled on this shot and the fine form center detail is lost. That would cost serious points in a rose photo contest. However, that being said. If you were going for the soft beauty of a red rose and all the meaning its color holds, well, then you have accomplished your goal. :o)
