Magnificent, colors are bright, clear and sharp = awesome! Background is just awesome with dark greens for this magnificent flower's colors and center is gorgeous with a bud coming out up above. Centered, detailed and shadowed properly.
Magnificently bright rose and great eye viewer.
Thanks for showing.
Congratulations and GOOD LUCK.
Have a magnificent week-end.

love the true color, perfection of petals and their display of synchronicity and the overall glow. Hate the title and don't really understand how you landed on it. At any rate (:-)) it's good work, good stopping power. Thank you for sharing it.

Yes I know! Rod Stewart if i'm not mistaken. It was just that it didn't seem to me anyway that it went with your lovely soft visual. :-)

a beautiful image, get presentation of this flower with great focusing skills on a diffused background to allow the gorgeous colours of the petals to show off their full potential. The central structure of the subjects perfect

Cute title Mike.

Your ROSE is just about ready to start losing her petals isn't she? Colors are very nice and focus is good. Particularly like seeing the unopened bud just peeking out over the top edge of your flower.

Thank you very much Deborah for your kind review and comments - very much appreciated. I think you are right in that we have a number of heavy rain showers and this delicate flower will struggle to survive for much longer! Mike
