This is beautiful.. There are some colours that are a little bit hard to capture (or is it only me.. lol), and this pink in my opinion is one of them.. You have captured it very well. Another outstanding element is the focus, which is great.. also, the grainy effect which gave the picture a glowing effect.. I love it.. 7/7
