Softly Yellow

the leaf is almost an anomaly, looks like a demonic tongue-- i find that a distraction to an otherwise very fine shot.

Oh, no ... I don't agree! I like the leaf ... the tiny bit of dark adds balance. This is a gorgeous shot! Simple and beautiful!! :-)

I am not concerned w/ the leaf either, it is the large shadow in the top right that I am bothered by. It intrudes too much on the rose's splendor. It reminds me of a picture when someone got their finger in the way of the flash. I love the subject, but that is killin me.
