This is an incredibly beautiful rose, and you have indeed pictured it well. The purple colors are truly delicate, and I also think the light is falling on it in a lovely way. The background is nicely softened for the rose to stand out in an excellent way.

Your focus is spot on and sharp showing such clear and well defined details in all the petals of the rose, and the exposure is perfect.

The format you have cropped the photo into works really well, and the rose has got a very fine placement within the frame. I think this is a truly lovely and well taken photo Timothy, and with an excellent DOF. I wish you luck with the contest.

Great choice of this rose for your photo. Classic rose shape and I absolutely love the color and how it pops out of the dark green background. Location of the rose helps the composition too.
