I am not convinced by all this praise of the image. I like the composition, 
rainy look and overall color.

However, the bright blooms are overexposed, with resultant loss of subtle color 
and texture detail. Some overlapping 
edges of petals are not clearly delineated, as well.

I've not seen a RoS in some time, and never this one, so details may be off. 
Still consider the smooth, subtle 
graduation of color from the dark center out to the edges, not just dark center 
- bang, all white. Also notice greater 
texture in petal surfaces and better defined petal edges where they overlap.

Highlights are still a bit clipped, but the effect is not nearly as bad.
