 Ashland, OR

One of the rose bushes in the backyard where I am currently staying in Ashland..

I interpreted the success of the flower reaching it's point of blossoming. The leaf reminds me of a person tanning on a beach, with a reflector. This rose just seems to define success to me.

I'm not sure what your target was, but the leaf seem more in focus than the rose.

Pretty flower. Focus is a bit off. Blown highlights on the leaf. Success theme is not very obvious.
