I see lots of perfect rosettas 14 to 20 leaf ones but no where have I found anyone that shares their knowlege as to how to get them that good. Surely there is a pro out there that is willing? I can pour a rosetta but not fine detailed ones with a wide base going up to a perfect slender tip. Are there any of the experts willing to share their professional tips?

Tweaking your pour can mean the slightest differences. While I was leaning to pour (as I still do) I would look at my current pours and look at how I would like them to be, point out the difference and see what they do differently to get those results. Youtube is your best bet, find a video you like and watch their technique over and over till you know exactly what they do differently.
You will find simple steps for a rosetta but if its the perfect one you are looking for its all about tweaking those little things. Thats my advice anways.

David, Your most recent rosetta photo is amazing. I am simply stunned by it. My level is about at your "old" photo, so while there may be some hope for me, I realize the divide between the old and newest photo is huge. My congratulations (and envy) on your skill level.
