A beautiful rose! This is one of the best photos of a rose I have ever seen. I like the stem of another rose going above it! Great job!

This is a nice photo, mama. The colors are deep and vivid. The cropping is nice and neat. The vine in the background makes for a pleasant ambient sidekick to the subject. All together a good photo. Thanks!

PERFECT! The richness of the red gives way to making you want to reach out and touch the velvetness of the petals. The light on the center of the rose just beacons you to smell it. (To bad you can't)
Awesome!!

I really enjoyed this photograph. I like how I can see all the detail in the rose petals. I also like how the flower takes up most of the space in this picture. Very nice!

This is my favorite flower picture. It's so hard to find the perfect rose and here it was in my backyard.
Also this is one of the first pictures I took with my new camera after I got it. Mostly luck! But of course this was one of quite a few that I took.
Thanks for the great review.

This picture is beautiful !! A pretty soft Rose with a sharp reminder in the backround. Photo is well focused and dark backround adds to a great contrast and helps the red really stand out! Keep up the great work!

excellent macro image, flower really stands out with a lot of clarity. Background being blurry adds to the flower and coloration.
