I saw the rosebud today in the garden and thought it was very pretty. However, I have a problem will roses. I am not sure if it looks better to go in close and show the detail or pull out slightly. The shots below are all taken slightly differently and I would appreciate some guidance. By the way, its still very windy here so difficult to take shots in, but that is not mean't as an excuse for poor technique

No 2 for me,prefer to see the whole flower. The water droplets are a bit of a distraction though, unless you could make them more of a feature I would get rid of them.
On the matter of movement, you can get grips to hold the flower steady. Alternatively put a garden cane in the ground and tie the stem to it with a plant tie to keep the flower steady.
