lovely capture of this pretty red rose, I like the angle you have captured it with the unfurling petals in the centre, good control on the red colour, well framed and presented,. hope you had a good valentines day.

a beautiful close up of these red roses filling the frame; excellent control of exposure without oversaturation, avoiding smearing of the red color;
nice petal texture;

This is a beautiful photo and very adequate for Valentine's Day. Truth it is a bit late for it I want still to say Thank You for your greetings. You have the rose beautifully placed left of center into the tight frame. The center has excellently captured, sharp detail. I like especially the contradiction of light and shadow through the photo.

Nice rich capture. The angle of the shot of this rich red rose is great. The clarity is great. The capture of the light is great. The image is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. Good eye and great job overall

You have produced a very pretty and vivid red roses closeup photograph. I especially admire the kaleidoscope-like look of the petals. Your floral picture is ideal for a Calendar- showcasing the month of February.

Comment from Dan Hancock
Good visual impact. Focus of the center of the flower is tack sharp but gets softer as you move away from the center of the bloom. Good color. I might consider cropping a bit off the right side of the image so as not to have it so centered. Well done.
