 Young fresh beauty fades into a different, elegantly aged beauty. I only wish all women took comfort in this.
This shot was one I had to capture...a rose...sitting untouched and dusted with, well dust. An unforgettable beauty forgotten. (cropped from original file)

Getting the center rose in sharper focus would have done wonders for this shot. And I'm not really feeling any comfort from this (4).

The soft focus may be intentional, but it does nothing for me.

So, I understand that someone could find comfort from roses, but where is the comfort in fading beauty? The DOF is too shallow and has caused the center of the rose to be out of focus.

Not quite in focus, and lighting from the side would be more dramatic.
