This is absolutely gorgeous. I like that you filled the frame with the inside of the flower. I see no defects in the petals. I like the softness of the photo as well. The different colors of pink, darker in the middle and lighter on the outside. All technical merits are excellent.

wow love pink. Beautifully captured the softness and delicateness of it as well. Nice centering and having just this flower as our total focus. Great presentation. Really nice for a wedding card.

Soft and sweet, and evokes a feel of innocence. The composition is perfect, it invites the eye first to that perfectly tipped center, and then we are free to explore all the other petals, so soft, and yet great sharpness and detail. This is indeed a work of art, and would look amazing large format on canvas.

They are so aromatic. I love roses for that quality. In my eye, your photograph has no flaws. Lighting, framing and exposure are spot on. Focus is solid. Good luck in the contest and thank you for sharing.

Comment from Kbanich
Hi Jack! This is stunning. A fine macro to deliver the complicated and vulnerable state of unfolding petals. Your DOF is really good allowing nice overall focus throughout the frame. The color is beautiful; not to dull nor to saturated. The even lighting gives way to a peaceful feeling. Very pretty. Kathy

This is stunning. I love how you filled the frame with this beautiful pink Rose - you can almost smell the fragrance. Lighting and focus excellent showing all the intricate twists and curls of the petals and different shades of pink. Very nice composition. Good luck in the contest. Suzanne

Comment from momentsofjoy7351
Aaaah, quite lovely! Softly pink with just the perfect light and color. Using the natural pinks of the petals in the framing is an artistic choice, very well played. Focus is beautifully solid with nice detail over your opening bloom. This is definitely a contender. Thanks for sharing and good luck!
