A lovely rose, Spencer. I like the dof, which allows for some petal softness, and I like the complementary BG.

Spencer:
I like your take on this rose with a shallow DOF concentrating on the center and surrounding softness. The light is complementary as well. The subject is a little too centric and I might crop some from the right edge. Also I would blur the sharply focus stem at the 2 o'clock as it is competing with the rose for attention.
A very nice first post and look forward to seeing more.
