This is truely lovely. The reflection and lighting against the dark background is breathtaking. At first glance I wondered if that was smoke and was happy to find out that it is. Nice addition. This is one of the nicest flower photos I've seen. Creative.

Visually stunning. Wonderful focus on the flower and water droplets. Well constructed scene with the darkened background, but the bit of reflection in front. Love the subtle addition of ths smoke - adds a touch of mystery to the image which works well with soft dark lighting.

Wow, stunning shot, love the water drops on the rose, gorgeous colors, wonderful reflection and smoke. Super sharp focus, exposure, dof and framing. So wish I had a six to give you!;)

This is a beautiful and elegant picture, one that I wish I could put my name to.
I love the light on the center petals, their color, their super smooth texture, the dew drops, the reflection.
Good to have a couple of green leaves and then green on some of the petals for contrasting color.
The backround color is well chosen.
The smoke is a nice touch, the way it creates patterns, gives another texture and contributes to the atmosphere.
The point of view is effective which not only shows the many layers of petals, but also the entire shape of the blossom.
Good placement in the frrame.
wonderful focus and DOF.
I study your settings, but just don't know how you get this quality of an image.
It's superb. Deserves minimum of a 6.

A beautiful & atmospheric picture of this pink rose encrusted by "liquid diamonds" sparkling in the torchlight the smoke appearing to rise from the rose adding to the atmosphere.
Lighting, composition & camera techniques are all superb with sharp focus.

This is SMOKIN HOT! Once again I see how Creative you get in the winter. I am LOVING your lighting here. The colors of the rose are fab. There is a hint of green and a soft mauve or pink. The water droplets are like tiny diamond sparkles. The reflection is loverly. The smoke is interesting and different. I think you made the right choice by leaving the magic leaf out this time.HA! Well done!

very romantic mood with excellent composition and wonderful lighting and colors. Smoke adds to the atmosphere and the reflection is lovely. The drops give it freshness. The dark background helps to show it off. Good focus and techs with nice creative touches. Stunning shot.
