Sad occasion. Nice composition. Okay in b/w. Nice effect with the selective color but a different angle might have been a better choice. It looks like she is wearing a clown nose.

Nice concept that goes well with your notes. I like the red standing out from the overall black image, but there's too much black in the photo to make it interesting. The rose seems a little soft, especially for being the focal point.

A gorgeous photo. The black and white with the red rose is full of beauty. The fact it was from a funeral gives the photo a heartfelt feeling. Thanks for sharing.

What a wonderful idea and presentation. Excellent concept and balancing act. The spot red is very excellent effect. Good luck for the contest. Even the pro idea and the presentation I love it.

Comment from Happy Snappy


The selective colouring of the rose really makes it stand out and gives it impact like making a fitting and poignant statement. I would just tidy up the back bit behind her a bit otherwise it's a really wonderful capture!
