Comment from ElliR


The "Satin Rose" photograph is a beautiful macro shot of an open rose. The close-up perspective allows for a detailed view of the delicate petals and intricate textures of the flower. The artistic filters used in post-processing create a unique and striking effect, resembling a satin finish. The black and white conversion adds a classic and timeless quality to the image, while the edging filter and split tone adjustments add a subtle hint of warmth and depth to the composition. The overall result is a stunning and elegant work of mixed media photography.

Wow, a common rose portrayed in a very uncommon way, I like this a lot. It has this metallic look, strong and sturdy for such a delicate flower, quite the juxtaposition.

Well deserving of a six star rating.

Really nice closeup. The way you did this is very creative. The shadows and lines are spot on, giving it depth in its details. Well orchestrated. Thanks for sharing.

This rose is beautiful in black and white, gray scale, with your editing so well done. The bud in the center is done so well and the other editing work too. I'd love to see this beauty in color. Best wishes in the contest.

I like your creativity. I like the tight frame. There is so much detail and intricate features within the beautiful rose petals. A rose is a rose in color or black and white. I feel that perhaps the black and white allows more details of the petals to shine in the image. Nicely presented. Best of luck in the contest.

It does look like a satin finish, nice piece of work!
I have to admit on first glance I thought it was a cabbage!! Lol Please don't take that as an insult, it definitely isn't, but isn't it interesting how much we depend on colour to identify things, to the extent that rose in grey can look like a cabbage!
The rose is beautifully sharp with lovely detail. I like that it's a close up, and with the tight crop there is nothing to distract the eye. The effects you've added work very well and fit perfectly with the theme of this contest, and I wish you the very best of luck in it.
Charlotte

This is an first -class composition.Suffice it say that this immediately caught my eyes by its uniqueness. The composition is carefully and intelligently thought out, and the light and shadow effects are exquisite. Good luck!

I don't know if this looks like satin, but I love the look! Love how you filled the whole frame with the rose.You chose a rose with a very pretty shape too. Focus and lighting are very good as well as your mixed media effects. Nice Job! Good luck in the contest! :o) Helvi
