What a beauty and if I don't look outside seems like summer coming from this beautiful bloom! The focus is pin sharp and like the shot from above the bloom. Amazing colors and d.o.f. and perfect framing! Thank you for the touch of summer Mary!

Yes it is sure a very nice looking pink. Very good job on the presentation. I was wondering if you used a little vignette would it be a little m ore stunning?

I like the angle you used for this close up of the lovely rose. You've captured all the different shades of pink in this. Lighting and focus very good showing great detail in the markings of the petals. Very nice composition.

This is a very special shot. Great close up work, intense but subtle color, crisp focus and your composition is spot on . Very well done.

Great exposure, good cropping and color. I love the way you captured the essence of a rose. The intimate sharpness of the center. Good job.

This is a beautiful photo, i love the colour and the way the shot draws your eyes to the centre of the flower. I almost felt as though i was waiting for it to open up. Nice job i really like it
