Having shot my share of roses over time, I have always found this one problem. Trying to balance getting the petals in focus and keeping the background creamy. In this shot, the background is very nice, but there is some sacrifice to the petals. Always a balancing act. One very nice thing about this one is the delicate gradations of white in the petals. I'd be curious to know if you bracketed for different DOF to see how it would look with more in focus.
