Sharp and smooth at the same time on this beatifully composed three tier shot.
The three tiers for me are the main subject - the rose and it's accompanying buddy, the foreground rose and leaf before it, and finaly, that subtle shaded background colourfully brought to life by the pastel shades of flower heads. Might have to recount to 5 tiers here Gus. Magnificent artistry and precision focussing. +V
