This is a nice watercolor. The rose fills the composition nicely. Beautiful red tones and shadowing achieved on the petals. The details and textures in the background add nice interest. Well done, thanks for sharing

Thanks to you.

Comment from Artistsushma
Brilliant artwork in watercolours. The rose has been crafted so gorgeously and its elegant charm brought out so beautifully. I particularly like the realism in those folds of petals which reveal fragility. Kudos

What a gorgeous entry for the contest,it's brilliant red coloring makes for a great initial impact. Your use of shadows and light emphasis the roses petals and adds depth to the image. A very striking and well composed watercolor,I wish you all the best in this contest!

Comment from Regina E.H-Ariel
Nice close up created picture, with a special angle and position from upside down showing us the entire form of this beautiful flower - the colors are well presented with perfect contrast and lighting - nice frame to just bring the focus to this Rose - It is so great that I thought at the first moment that it is a real photograph, excellent detail work, fantastic presentation, well done

A good looking image posted here into the competition! Your fine, full and appropriate overhead composition offers us an enjoyable view of that beautiful rose bloom. Colours and tones are good. Well painted and good luck!
