Beautiful tribute to your brother. I can sense, of course, that you are still grieving. My condolences. The rose yet unopened is a prelude of the beautiful things to come. Have a peaceful day and thanks for sharing.

Very nice dark background gives this rose the spotlight it deserves. With the very touching story and advise to ground it. Your focus is good its just real pretty, Good luck.

Beautiful lighting and color. The dark background highlights the rose perfectly. The stem pushes the rose to the side and gives a very effective placement for the bud. The small green spikes around the bud help show good depth for the scene. Very nice capture.

Having read your artist notes, this image conveys great sadness. It is not the usual picture of a rose in full bloom. I like the impact of the solitary rose filling the frame. Your message certainly makes a big impact. Nicely done.

Let me echo your words! Unless you have lived it, you just really don't get it. Nice macro focus with excellent color in this tightly wrapped rose. Very nice texture and detail against the black background.

Comment from Sange


A lovely tribute to your brother SF. The lone rose against a black background. I am afraid your focus is soft on the rose. If it was handheld, maybe that is why.
But, I know what it is like to have an amazing brother. I am blessed God gave me mine! Two years behind me. We went through everything together. He is my BEST friend and I love him more than anyone on this earth. I am so sorry for your loss. There is no way around grief, there is only through it. It is hard to live in a world where your brother does not exist. This is a lovely dedication to your brother SF.. I pray you will be comforted by those you love.

    We spend every weekend together and take photography days off. He lives near me. We speak and text daily. He is my best friend.
    I feel for you SF... I do. ;)

    That is really nice, that he loves photography, too. Thanks, Sange. I feel being comforted by a "FRIEND." and that really ease my pain. Thank you.

Lovely rose photo with moving sentiments. Sorry for your loss. The composition is nice as are the subtle colors of the flower. Goes well with dark background. don

Lovely placement of the rose. Just the right balance. Beautiful colors, a rose by any other name would smell (and look) as sweet. Thank you for posting here.
