Well, I love the colors of the rose!
I am not so sure how I like the white background on the right as it does not show the flower off in that area as well as it odes against the darker, green leafs.
Overall, nice post. Good luck in the contest!!

    Mattison,
    It's really not white at all but a soft gray, I thought it enhanced the feeling of depth and help bring the rose to the foreground. thank you for your time and then your comments in the review.
Comment from ArtemisX


I really like the colours of this rose. Not just the dark pink edges and soft, beautiful light pinks where they curl but also the contrasting green that enhances the pink. I'm just not crazy about the "heavy" left hand side of the photo, it takes a lot away from the focus on the flower. Maybe try lightening that area a bit?

    Artemisx,
    the heavy left hand side of the photo, are you saying the off whitw or the green? I thought the difference in clors in teh background added depth... anyway thank you for the time and the comments in the review, I appreciated all the time you spent to write it and look at the photo.

The rose is beautiful. Its colors and contrast are excellent, and the detail is lovely. I find the background distracting withm its sharp change of color between dark and bright.

nice capture of the rose with good focus, clarity and colors, still the right part of the background is too bright and boring leding to a lower initial impact

good luck with the contest

Artist,
pure pink perfection in your amazing photo. Vivid pink and green colors. I like the focus on the pink rose. An excellent photo and entry in the pink photo contest. I love roses and so far this is the best entry in the contest. That's my 2 cents.

I like the this pic for all the reasons you have mentioned and much more. You have sharing the beauty of God's creation. That is important. Finely composed with the pink rose nestling against the dark leaves, this makes an impressive viewing.

Comment from RSMITH


Its a beautiful rose no doubt and the focus is there, however the lighting needs to be kicked up in my opinion. The composition is okay but the right side is distracting from your pretty rose shot.

    RSmith,
    detracts because of the off white? you do not think the rose stands out enough, it is not carrying the shot? thank you for you comments.

    kanagaraj,
    you are not liking the off white in the background on the right? I thought it looked good and to me was controlled, not a glaring overpowering white spot, to me it worked. thank you for your comments.
