6 stars in my heart. I just love the natural ambient light. Color is so rich and velvet. The harmony with your scarf and the subject is perfect. I really love this shot. Thanks so much for the camera information. So enjoyed your storytelling.

Colors and details are very nice. Focus and lighting are very nice. Composition and DoF are nice. Like the water droplets on the rose and scarf. I don't blame you I am also very tired of winter. Thanks for sharing, Southernbelle

A very pretty picture of this flower. I read your notes and cound not figure if this is artificial or real. Either way it looks real and very beautiful. I love the texture you have added with the scarf. Nice arrangement. Pat

I would never use an artificial flower. Thank you very much for your kind review.

I did not thank so. Sorry. I think I thought that because of something in your notes. I loved it. You are welcomed for the review. pat

This image is striking. The well place (or was it an accident?) water droplets in the lower left of the image tells me this photographer knows how to use the rule of thirds to her advantage. The color really pops and the lighting is just perfect. Photography flowers can be such a cliche, but this photographer managed to find something different. Kudos!

Annie very nice, focus and framing are ideal, lighting is great, DOF is also top notch. The water drops add something very nice to this, don't know what it is but I like it.
Nice Job

What a beautiful photo. Lovely composition, the lighting from behind making the outer petals a different shade of yellow is great. Detail is fantastic - thanks for sharing :)

i love your flower shots annie. you have made this popular subject very individual. the framing is also important in your work, perfectly composed and exposed as always. so well deserving of an extra rating.

Yes it is a long winter in Norway, I have spent many there.
Lovely yellow rose with water droplets,The vivid color sets off the picture, focus looks a little soft but that adds to the picture. Would look nice hanging on a wall.
