Comment from Jo Calderbank
Great contest entry, the light on the rose highlights the fine focus and clarity, sharp edges to each petal, the raindrops add freshness and interest, I also like the way the foliage blurs
Into the background, the flower stands out clearly against the
Black background. Lovely
Good luck in the contest.

This is so pretty, love the raindrops on this pretty rose, the green leaves are blurred enough to add to the photo but yet we concentrate on the rose, love that black background with the light strictly on that rose

This is beautiful flower photography. You have timed it well. The light and the composition have worked well and you have caught the contended look on Enyo's face very well. Good luck!

Comment from Glena Jessee-King
This is one gorgeous flower with the raindrops. It appears so alive, so vibrant yet soft and subtle. The green leaves are just enough in number in so they complement the beauty of the rose, rather than distract. The dark background causes the rose to pop. The inside with perfect bud and all of the petals are perfect except the one at the topper left where it is a little browned. Except for this portion, definitely a "6" is deserved. Still beautiful work and subject!

Beautiful image for this contest!! I love the lighting, you really highlighted the soft pink colour of the petals. The water droplets are a nice touch, makes it feel calming. The black background works nicely, makes for a clean composition, no distractions and great contrast. Well done! This will be hard to beat in the contest
