I like the color of the flower and the slightly different crop.

Two things really stand out for me that could be improved - the border and the noise in the dark areas. I agree with the comments below about the border and have nothing to add, except that a different color on the inner border may work better if you still wanted it. The noise in the dark areas is quite a bit and probably could have been removed during editing. The rose is nice and soft, but makes me wonder if it's soft on purpose or a bit out of focus. I would have cloned out the little dot in upper right corner.

This is lovely, but I think would do better without the border.

This should do very well. Beautiful pastel shade. Can't make up my mind whether I like the border or not.

I'n not a fan of such overpowering borders, but ignoring that for the vote, as it's just my opinion, - a 7

Your border really overpowers the photograph. With that said your subject is very nice and soft.

this border really detracts from the softness of the rose, which needs to be a little sharper in the center petals

I don't like the border - I think it detracts from the photo

The pink border is distracting from the nice color of the rose

The softness of this image and the stunning pastel hues are overpowered by the harshness of the frame. I do find this image very appealing and the high vote it garners will not be offset by the frame. I can only hope that others will vote in the same vein.

I like the border, a bit grainy
