Center of a Rose #3

Here's another from the same rosebush...I hope everyone isn't getting tired of these, because I may have a few more on the way!

I wish the breaks in the petals weren't there, showing that green...but I felt like they didn't break the deal for me.
I did a little touch up cloning, some noise reduction and sharpening...
Nikon D200, 60mm, f/5, 1/200, ISO 250.

All comments and critiques appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Jaymes

The off center composition makes this for me Jaymes. Well seen, captured and displayed.

I like this Jaymes. I like the pof and comp. It looks like one of Ram's off center comps. This also looks like it could be the flag of Roseland.

Jaymes - Beautifully Done. Your Rose series has been a great one and please keep posting more. I am not tired.

Love the Off Center Composition and the striking and contrasting colors. The luminance in the yellow is also interesting. What I usually do (when possible that is) is to move another rose just behind the main one to fill the gap showing the green now. Of course, another one should be available.

Jaymes:
Another nice one. The green is not a deal breaker but wish it wasn't there. Look forward to seeing more of the series.
