The birth of a rose

Simply amazing. A gorgeous picture. So pretty, not at least because it's a rose.
I like the colors. I think that dark exactly matchs to the picture. The colors go a little bit into vintage, that's adds kind of a cemetery feeling to the picture. This picture could come directly from a fairytale.
I really like the blurred parts of the picture. The rose is the only "highlighted" part of the picture.
I just have to criticize one thing: some blurred parts look a bit unrealistic. I don't know if you edited this or not but it appears a bit unreal.
