If I may crit without offending - All you had to do to make this pop is drop some blue into the crevices and into that hot left corner that's begging to be cooled off.  Hue+value+temperature.  Can't neglect temperature.

Nice! Love the deep shades and high contrast. The inner petals seem very well planned compared with the original image. I like the highlights on the tip of the rose and the way you tapered it off at the bottom. Good one!

a woman at the office has one! I was talking to her about it yesterday, I've ridden in it many times and just yesterday figured out it was called a soul. Her's is the dark green with the white stripes.
