This picture to me would give it more justice if it was in color. Some things are just better in color. I do see textures in the elements though.

A very interesting and unique visual presented here. I've never seen a flower like this. I like that you've used black and white to present it. The background adds to this visual and gives it interest. Thank you very much for sharing. Good luck in the contest

Not often you see flowers in black and white,and guess the color in this is really good as well,however it is b/w so will review it as such,the detail is quite good and of course the vertical format was ideal,good plain background which was also helpfull....Brian

Wow! There's a raw, unfiltered quality to this photograph that evokes a deep sense of nostalgia, as if we're looking through a window into the past. This shot exudes a quiet strength and grace. Well done! Good luck!

While this is a clear and well-focused photograph, a desert rose shot in black and white does not do it justice. However, the photograph is well placed in the frame and in black and white shows an interesting outline.

Aimee, it is amazing what a little tender loving care can do. The blossoms are complex and intriguing. Your skewed placement displays the beauty of this bloom in a gracious way. This is a wonderful entry and the best of luck in the contest. Ray

It didn't know there was roses in the desert. I know the cactus produce flowers. The clarity is great. The angle of the shot of this desert rose is great. The capture of the light is good. The presentation is balanced and eye interesting to the viewer. Good eye and great job overall
