HI and thank you for sharing this most exquisite rose, that is boasting its beauty just like a little touch of heaven. . The soft pink hue that surrounds the outer petals provides a perfect background for this delicate deep pink bud to slowly unfold for all to enjoy. It is as though it is being cradled by its fellow friends ( the outer petals) who are nurturing this precious bundle of joy, until its time is right. The angle used to capture the bloom is perfect and helps create this image in my mind's eye.. the lighting works brilliantly and the exposure is spot on. such clarity gives this intricate formation so much eye appeal. The unfolded petals have a warm and pleasing emotion that somehow emanates from within its centre. I can imagine its soft and delicate perfume lingering throughout the day as it enjoys the sunlight from above.. Such a delightful , glorious rose , seen here in its partially unfolded stage of life.. stunning in every way.. thank you for sharing one of your delicacies from your garden.. A bloom to cherish.. and an absolute pleasure and joy to review. . best of luck in the contest. cheers mel

This is just a beautiful photo
of the interior of this rose.
I love its subtle softness and
shadow on the inner petal.
It's such an exquisite shade of pink. Definitely angelic and leaves me hopeful.
Beautiful artist notes, and best wishes for the competition.

This is just stunning! Very well photographed with good focus, the image is clear, perfect light control to allow the true color and variations of tone to be seen. Well composed in this full frame presentation nice detail in the deeper pink center. Your notes present an interesting perspective. Best to you in the contest!

A beautiful blossom and an excellent shot. A fine perspective that captures the delicacy of the bud perfectly. Great colors and excellent composition should make this one a contender in the contest.
