Great close up of the pink flower. Captured with a very soft look, well detailed and framed. Lovely colours giving a great range of pinks.

Comment from Regina E.H-Ariel
Perfect title, super composition, a wonderful regular and soft rose that really is one perfection in all details - your angel and position are perfect

the soft lighting very lovely as well as the clear color combination in the background - a special rose image - I love this single petal standing up and the lighting falling on the bloom

A super image perfect in exposure showing the soft textures in perfection , super job, thanks for sharing

It is a beauty Fred. A wonderful pink and a perfect shape. Wish I had one of these growing in my yard. Nice photo of this gorgeous flower captured with fine camera techs. Every petal is pin sharp. Nice flower photo and thanks for sharing it especially since it's from your garden.

Pink indeed! I can see the "reflection". I like the composition, centered, and the fore/background relationship. Very nice job.

Truly is perfection both the flower and your photography of the camellia - the pastel pink shows up well with the light and shadow and focus is spot on.

What a design by Mother Nature! So symmetrical! Perfect engineering! This is a beautiful shot of the flower. You have framed it well. Light and sharpness are very effective in creating a lovely capture. Good effort!
