A very lovely visual presented here of this beautiful flower. The paddles look so soft, and the colors are so appealing. I also love your background which highlights your subject perfectly well done.

A very beautiful rose and a very unusual color I think your takeon it is exceptional and I love that angle. The background is a perfect foil. Good light management and presentation gives us a very enjoyable photograph.

Mary,
A beautiful picture of this unusually coloured Rose with golden pollen tipped stamens just visible in it's centre. The light highlighting it's petals & their colour as the rose stands out from the dark background. Artistic composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
Susan

The lovely presentation of the rose is a reminder of the beauty that surrounds us every day. You have framed it well. The light, colour, and composition have worked well. Good effort!
