This is very beautiful. I think the background and lighting really give it that special kind of look. The middle of the rose is stunning as well. I like that the petals are still pretty tightly gathered. Good idea.

Thank you. It was just one of those "Lets shoot it and see what happens" moments. I really wasn't sure if it was going to be anything really worth keeping.

Well, I think it was worth keeping.

Your post processing work here certainly paid off. This is a beautifully rendered shot of an iconic flower. I really like the soft lighting that peaks at the center of your main focus. Great detail further enhances the beauty of your photo. Well done:)

For me beauty lies in all phases of life , birth, full bloom as well as the different states of falling apart - you captured one of these states in perfection , your color range is excellent , DOF contrast and lighting create enough ambiance to let the center stand out very well , your picture is clear and sharp - well framed , taken from a nice perspective - a special rose for sure, thanks for sharing

Very effective image of this second hand rose, fading around the edges but still beautiful in the center. Nice storytelling content. Skillfully achieved with the color scheme of pink in the center and a wilting beige brown around the edges. Good clarity in the petal structure. Well done. Good luck.

This is an innovative presentation. The rose and the selective lighting makes it interesting viewing. Fine composition, soft colours and very good light makes this first rate. Thanks for sharing!

Cool,Meg!
Your photo of this 'used' rose is an interesting and enjoyable picture,my friend!
It makes me think of the old song 'Dead Flowers' by the Rolling Stones! : D

A very nicely composed shot with beautiful subdued colors. I like the soft light and the dark background. Best of luck in the voting.

I totally agree. Really nice photo, love the way you darkened the edges and concentrated on the middle. Beautiful soft pink come out nicely in the dark parts. Nicely centered with the light. Glad you shared this one
