A lovely capture of this rose flower bud opening up. Nice focus and clarity, showing quite some derail. The dark background shows this flower bud off so very well.

Wow! What a beautiful capture of the rose! The way you framed it feels intentional and balanced, and the combination of light, shadows, and colours brings an almost painterly quality to the composition. Excellent work! Good luck in the contest. Sorry. Still no six with me.

What a gorgeous photo of a rose unfolding its petals as if to announce its maturing. It has a soft overtone and make me want to pull it close.
Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

Made me imagine of its perfume like scene. I like how you have captured its vanilla colored petals, too. Great focus, angle, and white balance control setting. Its colors appears authentic. You can still improved the presentation by just cloning those from each sides.
