7 - I like the texture and detail discernible - would like to see more. Compositionally, it seems unbalanced, also seems tilted slightly. I like the tones & light. Up to 7 from 6.

Love the low-key.. Well done, and lovely texture, you have made this viewer question if this is a beautiful rose, or a wrinkled wreck :)
