How wonderfully lovely, Eileen. Excellent angle that really shows off the bloom which captured at the most beautiful point in its life cycle with the perfect combination of open and tight petals. Colors are fabulous and the softness of the pieces is just so appealing. The reverse vignette is a perfect choice too. Excellent.

Your macro lens rewarded you very well. What a wonderful look, soft and pleasing colors, framed and focused with a great background. Your edit has made this a very pretty scene.

Rose in the clouds. The variegation of the rose colors is fabulous. The lighting and focus is perfect. The reverse vignette is a great touch of artistic license to give the heavenly feeling of the shot. The unfolding petals look like life unfolding for all to see. Great shot.
