Comment from Barb Baker


l love this one! It is so soft that I feel like reaching out and touching how soft that it must feel. I love the lighter petals on the outside and how they compliment the darker ones yet ready to open in the center. It does remind me of a birth. The cropping is great also.
Very Lovely piece!!
Thank you for sharing,
Barb Baker

Very pretty picture of your pink rose. I really like the way you filled the whole picture with the pink framing the center of the rose. It's very soft and sweet. A perfect rose. Nice!

This is a beautiful capture of your pink rose. Very soft and fragrant and a lovely shade of pink. I too have a rose garden on the opposite side of my vegetable garden. And in between the roses grow my wildflowers. When they are in bloom my camera is in a whirlwind of me snapping pictures one after the other. I have a feeling yours is too especially around Mother's Day (smile). I like that your entire frame is filled with this rose....makes it ready to be admired by a person such as I.
Thanks so much for sharing.

Very pretty! You framed this well, drawing the eye right to the center, gaining the best visual effect. The color is beautiful. I love the softness, making it look elegant. The clarity is nice but not overdone allowing that soft look to prevail. Overall the presentation is excellent. Good luck in the contest!

Truly deserves to be an all time best. Great entry for the contest - good luck. Love the color - so delicate; love the presentation - so soothing. Great framing, focus and dof. Gotta stop and smell the roses ;-). Thanks for sharing and keep on shooting more of these.

The creamy color gradation is the real standout here. Second place goes to the delicate textures in the petals. And the lighting brings it all together lending dimension and shading. The composition and framing are quite fine. All in all, there is a wonderful attention to detail in every respect. Just beautiful.

So lovely and the soft pinkness of the bloom is so soothing, it almost looks as if you could smell it. I love the full frame of the bloom and even though the focus is a little soft it makes it very appealing. Thanks for sharing your love for the rose.

Very lovely photo of this rose, showing with great clarity its soft velvety petals. Nice focus on the folded center pink petals, surrounded by the lighter pink petals. One can almost smell the perfume exuded by this lovely. Great entry for the flower contest, good luck.
