Late Evening Rose

I knew these days would come, days when either I didn't take photos, or days during which I did take photos but realized late in the evening that I was not pleased with the results. What to do, what to do? The rose in the kitchen was looking a little ragged around the edges, but still pretty. This is the first photo on which I've done any significant editing... most of my others are straight from the camera. It looks real, but at the same time, unreal. I like it.
