I was just fooling around with my Lensbaby, inspired by a side-challenge that I don't participate in. Shot this more or less by accident, and forgot to lower the ISO after some pretty dark shots. Hence the noise. I think the Lensbaby-effect works well here, without being too obvious. The I noted the composition was almost exactly centered. Let's just see how it does.

I find the two blurred roses to the left and right a bit of a distraction here. Perhaps a shot of just the single rose would have been more interesting. Also, i'm not a great fan of the grain here. It doesn't really help the subject i feel. 4.
Yes, but you forgot to mention soft on focus also.
I am still giving it a decent score just the same.
Cause I just happen to like centrally place flower pictures.
:)
Whilst one rose is in the centre the others are not, therefore not fitting the subject IMO None of the flowers are in focus, yes the centre one a bit more but really not enough to draw my eye to it as the subject matter. The white in the back is also very distracting. Work on your composition and removing distracting elements from your images.
I like it. It's very soft which I think helps make the picture. Sometimes grain helps a picture and sometimes it can hurt it a lot. In this case I would say it only helps. Good shot. My only complaint is that the white/blue thing in the background is kind of distracting.
