I really like this image. Got to love the color, contrast and focus on this rose. I also like the centered effect.
The vignette really helps with the perimeters of your image. Love to have a print of it on my walls.
Thanks for sharing...

Beautiful colors--a bit unusual. Lovely smoothness to the petals. Great light. The vignette is the first thing I noticed, which leads me to believe it is too obvious since the goal is to first notice the rose. I think a vignette helps this image, but maybe the one you used is too black. I wonder what a different, somewhat lighter color vignette would do.
