Not sure about the background, but the foreground is sweet.
EDIT: Lookin' better!

Love it! Beautiful job author. Agree with CMYK about the background...perhaps use what you have and do a nice 'twirl' filter to it...or Gaussian blur it way more...just a thought.

one thing.. AWESOME!

thanks, this has now been corrected, background has changed for the better

Oh beautiful....... love the detail on the roses.

I would have stayed with a plain black background, you don't need anything else your wonderful creation is strong enough by its self.
