I like what you’ve done here; the glow is quite nice.

I love the light coming through the petals. You might want to try bringing up the center of the rose slightly.

The sharpness of the petal edges provides a wonderful play of lines, Gigi - the whole image having a sense of awakening to a new dawn. Lovely !!
