This capture indeed deserved to win the contest. Who ever tried to photograph anything pure white knows how hard it is to archive a photo which is sharp focused and well lighted without blowing out any of the white. I admire how light is used here, especially the small spots where light shines through the petals from the back. It is not easy to determine if this flawless rose is natural or silken made by man, but the exquisitely captured textures show that indeed nature produced this beauty. The nationality is further intensified by the contradicting textures of ribbon and silk beneath it.

Your colors are exquisite! Perfect exposure. I like that you have arranged two shades of white and at different levels that guide the eye smoothly through the image. I think the various textures are also very nice and stand out well.

Bright, creamy white as white as white can get. This take certainly meets the contest criteria.

The detail of the rose petals is exquisite, like white chocolate shavings freshly drawn.

DOF, composition framing is excellent. The addition of the green leaves is masterful. Perfect contrast break.

An excellent contest entry, good luck ... B-)) Bob

An intriguing photo where the line between decoration and actual flora is blurred. Very crisp and sharply focused with great clarity and as the title suggests, brilliant white colour contrasting with the silvery grey nicely. Great pic.

Nice entry for the color white contest. I really find your exposure eye appealing as well as the intricate beauty of this unfolding white rose. Great light tippings and focal richness.
