The title of your photo is perfect. You already got an All Time Best, but I still felt the need to give you a six for this photo. The individuality of the petals and the variation in color is exceptional. I love the point of view from which you took the photo. To get such clarity in the shade is perfect. If you don't win the contest, something is wrong about that.

    I didn't look to see whose photo it belonged to. I saw the flower and that was all I wanted to look at. I guess I did give you two 6's today.

This is actually perfection in nature. This rose is amazing and as you said, the surroundings add to the loveliness and depth. Just beautiful photography.

Comment from Robert D.H.


Very beautiful photograph. Nice timing of the flower in bloom. The different shades of pink give it nice depth. Good job offsetting the framing of the flower to background the photo. Robert

Yes, a perfect rose, the colours are so pretty. Perfect petals all around, not a bug bite of bug in there, lol,,It must just have a beautiful fragrance. Well presented here in your photo

Comment from ABG Photography


How incredibly beautiful! I love the way you shot this and placed the focal point in the left most third of the composition. The contrasting background of leaves and little white flowers really makes the focal point pop. Initial impact: WOW

Comment from Browncat


Congratulations on the Recognized Award. Well deserved for this lovely photo. The repeating pattern on the round petals is especially interesting and appealing, as not all roses have this shape.

Comment from Shadow catcher


It is a very beautiful rose,I like the varying hues of pink,the delicate petals contrasting with the sturdy stems and sharp thorns.This would have been an excellent entry for the rose contest,too! The lighting is superb,focus excellent. A great entry for the contest,I wish you all the best!

    Shadow catcher,
    Thank you and I appreciate you having taken the time to review my Photo and the kind word in your critique. I am pleased you think the rose is beautiful in its colors and shape. And in the overall composition between softness the rose's pedals and then hard sharp look of the thorns, the contorts between the two, really do help make it an interesting image .Take care and be safe in these uncertain times.

    Brian,
    Thank you and I appreciate you having taken time in reviewing my Photo and the kind word in your critique. I am pleased you enjoyed the rose and the composition. I think cropping that away would have crowded the rose within the frame and would have made it less impressive overall, know what I mean? Take care and be safe in these uncertain times.
