This is an outstanding photograph with excellent design, focus, and depth, Your editing effects are a tremendous addition to this wonderful yellow composition. Tremendous clarity in the focus, and a wonderful capture of the water drops sitting there like diamonds in the superb lighting.

Great color, like the overall monochromic coloration with the hints of green to add life. Good lighting that does an excellent job of defining the textures and shape of the petals. Background is a bit busy but works for this image and the water drops provide a nice bonus.

This is a very beautiful and creatively presented image. I love the rich golden yellow color. Crystal clear water drops, a touch of greenery, and the pretty golden background pattern come together perfectly in this gorgeous photo. Good luck in the contest. :)

Comment from Sange
Hope I like it? How about I LOVE it almost as much as I love you! ;)
I find for some odd reason, roses remind me of you. Yellow stands for friendship and Sunshine!
I can never be near flowers for too long, so pictures are my best way of enjoying them.
What I love here is the way the rose is facing towards the light that seems to come from heaven. The soft lighting, the soft lines and circles, the water beads/ bubbles, the many layers and details all make
this so elegant, graceful and yes
Oh so loverly! There is a part of you in this, the part that feels like home to me.
Beautifully and artistically done.
Bravo! :)

Comment from Dick Lee Shia
Interesting creation.
Great initial impact.
Harmonious color in monochromatic hues.
Excellent subject positioning.
The hairlike threads are quite distracting.
Subdued lighting.
Aesthetic framing.
Diffused focusing.
Thanks for sharing.
