I can't says I blame you for loving this rose. Very nicely presented. I like the shadows in the background and the backlighting on the rose. Beautiful colours and details. The light in the upper left corner could be toned down to cut down on the glare. Nice work and thanks for sharing.
Think about the photo before and after, never during. The secret is to take your time. You mustn't go too fast. The subject must forget about you. Then, however, you must be very quick.
