Great shot! Beautifully composed and illuminated. I love how the stalk i darke in the middle and the texture on the leafs and petals is just perfect. The DOF is also very good as it draws my eye from the OOF not interesting jar theroughthe frame until my eye rests on the perfectly focus and exposed rose petal. Superb.
