It's funny you say that. I truly did not like the shot at first. It is just about right out of the camera too. There is VERY LITTLE touch up on this thing. Each time, I went back to the photo I found more to like about it. The texture really got me, but I figured only someone who actually knows roses would catch that!

Thanks!
