I absolutely love the way this came out! What wonderful results!!
The bloom has a silk "feel" to it..Almost a shimmer.
Lovely tones of the petals..Good lighting technique..And the light dancing off the dew in the rose was a wonderful touch.
Good effect of the vapors rising up from the rose..To attract.
Good reflection caught..An exceptional piece of work! Thanks for sharing!

I think this is a beautiful photograph. I love the muted pink in the low light and the reflection is wonderful. Great smoke...was that added digitally? I haven't figured out how to do that yet, but it's great here. Lovely shot.

very good photo of a delicate rose. The petals are so soft and aluring. The drops of water are also good, they give it an extra realism

Great initial impact.
The color of the rose is great, the smokey background is a great touch as are the water drops.
Great focus, composition and pov.
Best wishes on the contest.

This is a great mixed media shot of this rose. The smoke effects, the colors, the water droplets are all brilliant. The reflection is wonderful too. Really nice job.

Talk about using your creative imagination...this is awesome! Your techniques were a great idea and making it work brought out a completely smoking photograph. Love the framing, the roses details are sharp, clear with a wonderful creativity in the color harmony! You have a photograph that gives a smoking initial impact! I really am so glad that you shared it with us.. thank you.. you did an awesome job!

Comment from susanlen
This rose has a metallic look about it. Soft pinky-apricot colour with edges of petals have a dull golden tone. I like the framing and the reflection in the foreground. Focus is very good, as is lighting but for me the overhall image is rather on the dark side. Good luck in the contest.
