Valentine's Day Roses C&C Please

[tinafaecarroll]

My boyfriend got me roses for Valentine's Day, and I took the opportunity to get some shots. Here's the only one I really like.
C&C, Please. Any comments appreciated!

its a bit underexposed and u could of used some more ambient light. also its a little grainy.

but i like the composition.

I really like how deep the colors are, and I like the lighting. The shadows seem really moody and dramatic to me, which is great for this shot.

I sort of wish the background was a little blurry, because my eyes keep going to the rose in the upper left.

Really cool shot!

Thanks for the comments.

I will edit the lighting a bit tomorrow, just to see.

I haven't quite figured out my camera yet and didn't know how to change DOF to make the other roses blurred. I'll take this into consideration next time, though. Thanks!

There is nothing technically wrong with this photo. There is enough range from shadows to light. "Dark" does not mean "underexposed". Well done.
