This is a really interesting change for the rose. I love the background and the added swirls. The doarkness on the bottom right really tie everything together.

A very fine image, well composed and framed. I really like the subtle colours in this image and your software work. However, your camera work is also very, very good. Great detail and good use of your Topaz filter. I'm a Topaz fan as well.

Very artistically done. Really like the texture and patter you added to the background. The soft curves and delicacy of the lines add to the delicate petals of the rose. The water droplets look like little pearls. The golds give the pic a very warm, rich feel while the greens and vibrancy and contrast. Very nicely done.

This is beautiful, yellow rose in all its intensity. Like what you have done with the Topaz filters. Good luck in the contest.

Thank you so very much for the lovely review. A lot of people think Topaz is just a lot of filters, but it is not. When I use Topaz it is just for the last finish adjusting light, contrast and sharpness.
