I love how you highlighted the delicacy of the flower by putting the softest and lughtest colors on the outside of your shot. The heart shapes of the petals remind me of Valentine's Day.
This is a lovely close up portrait of this beautiful pink rose! The photo is well composed. The sharpness is excellent . The colors are lovely! Best of luck in the contest!
Pink is such a soothing color, It is also comforting. The shot you have taken demonstrates this. The varying shades of pink demonstrate the beauty of this rose, which is trimmed and well presented. Good luck to you. Ray G.
