Is your focus point directly on the rose? The wall on the right side seems in focus as well and its distracting to the rose. Colours look great in the pic.

I think in the critique section, you need to post EXIF data as well.

you may want to read the guidelines so you'll know what info to include. You'll get far more responses if you do. Thanks

You're right, it is a little bit distracting! The focus point is on the rose, I guess the wall was at the same distance as the rose and that's why seems in focus. I was standing next to the wall. Thank you for your response!

try using the center AF point, and then once its focused on the flower, drag the camera to your frame. It may help with getting rid of that focus.
