Wow, this is very stricking.
Great initial impact.
Very creative.
I love the bright colors and the details in the petals.
I like the radiating soft focus which draws you eyes to the flower.
Wish I could give you more.

Nice piece of art with good initial impact and nice color harmony. The detail is nice and the blue and red always blends nice together.

Thanks for sharing.

Very dynamic impact! I love the way you use light to add life to your image. Well thought out. Clarity is perfect. Such a show of color brilliance. Great creativity! The details in the main image are tremendous. Very attractive piece of art. Good luck.

Commanding. One HAS to stop a look at this incredibly vibrant flower beautifully rendered, lighting artfully done and the thorns look so sharp you can almost feel the prick. Of concern is the "horizon's" sharpness is not carried to the flower at the same depth of vision. I would highly recommend to soften the horizon and it's distinction to match that of the flower and make the transition between it and the very blurred background softer. I find this descrepency distracting and disturbing.

This is a stunning opiece of digital art. The colors are strong and harmonious. I love the lighting and coontrast on the petals and leaves. The picture holds one's interest.

The 2D effect really makes the fallen rose stand out well. And one can tell from the stem end it was not cut. Nice color harmony. Good form on the rose petals, leaves and thorns. The red foreground seems to draw the eyes right into the rose. Topped of nicely with a cool blue. Well presented with good impact. The best of luck in the contest. Thanks for sharing.

This is really pretty Shawn.

I love the color, lighting, and 3-D look of the flower petals.

I also like the blue at the top, it goes well with the orange. But I think the red area is a bit bright, and might look better with another color that goes better with orange (dark green maybe ?)
