Thats a nice rose. If you want it more romantic perhaps soften it a little. Go easy in the red. I am getting overwhelmed with the red in the image.

hey there. its a pretty nice rose so far. if you want the red flower to stand out more. use a green.. id suggest a light unsaturated green, just so it doesnt look to christmas like... or go with a colour thats close to red like an orange or yellow. hope that helps

yeah, I admit the red is a bit scary.

This looks like it was done in painter. I know of one way of softing a picture. It is a cheat I know but it works. open the file in Photoshop and create a duplicate layer and use the gaussian blur and set it so that it does not destort the picture, but softens it. I hope it works for ya. I did the same thing a while back when I was on the bus, I would draw 'cute' or 'beautiful' things for attractive women that were near by. If all else failed I made their day.

why did you say that your method is a cheat? i dont get it. i think anything that works is good.
thank you for the method
