I like your title soft and strong. That's exactly what this photo of your rose looks like. It also seems to be sturdy and alive as if it could stay that way forever. Good luck.

Comment from Charlie Newman


The clarity, crispness and sharpness of the rose petals stand out well against the subdued background. Your perspective adds a lot of depth to the capture. Colors are natural. Excellent camera techniques and a good eye.

So lovely and beautiful. I like the clear and well-defined lines of the petals, as well as the retention of natural colors, resulting from great focus, angle, and correct exposure setting.

What a beauty the rose is very much like a camellia flower with the soft flowing petals and two tone coloring. Well framed and sharp focus. Certainly a beauty.

This is such a beautiful flower! I love all the different shades of pink on the petals. The dark foliage and little white flowers are a nice background. Great entry for the contest! Best of luck!

Lucien,
A beautiful picture of this pink rose photographed from above looking into it's beautiful heart that I'm sure had the most beautiful scent & framing by the small white flowers. Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus. Good luck in the contest.
Susan
