Looks like a blood splattered white rose!:) Just kidding! You have framed it well. Light and sharpness are very effective in creating a lovely capture. Thanks for sharing!

This is a beautiful rose with the very interesting pattern as if it were splashed with red paint.
Well photographed with good focus , this image is clear, exposure is well managed, the colors and tones are natural. Your angle of shot allows a good look at the shape and structure of this lovely rose. Well composed against the pink toned background, well presented!

This is indeed a spectacular rose Fred, and you have pictured it so well. I especially like the simplicity of the photo and the very special color of the background. It is also lovely the way the light is falling on the flower.

The photo is sharp showing clear and well defined details in the petals of the rose, and the exposure is perfect.

The tight cropping works well and the centered position of the rose is fine. A truly beautiful and well taken photo, and with an excellent DOF.

What a unusual and beautiful rose. Lovely close up. The colors are beautiful! I might have made the backdrop darker to make it stand out more, but still a great shot. Great sharpness and clarity.

A very good nature shot posted here! Your full, fine and central composition offers us an enjoyable view of your beautiful rose bloom. Those splashes of pink certainly do liven the petals up. Exposure and sharpness are good. Nicely taken!

I particularly like the contrast between the subject and the background.The colours are so similar but are really effective which I didn't expect to be honest.The sharpness and clarity of your subject is beautiful as is the structure of your composition
