Since the center part of the rose is the darkest in color, that's where the eye goes (at least mine) and one wants to find that a little more in focus. Not crisp, necessarily - soft is fine - just a bit less blur. Nice light and color.
I really would have preferred to see the center in very sharp focus.. Looks like there may have been a little motion blur wich imho takes away from the beauty of the shot.
