This is beyond...well beyond anything. When I look at your stuff I wonder why I'm bothering. I love the way you have used layering here, especially the echo rose which lends a dimension of mystery. The pearls are a brilliant touch. Perfect.

Excellent! Your work with layers is superb and the compilation is always perfect. Excellent framing of this stunning rose, excellent focus on it giving nice detail in it, good job with the white, lovely light and shadow and very nice colour clarity. Excellent camera and editing work, very well done.

Very nice technique. The b/g adds dimension and layers of interest, soft and frilly. The pearls were a nice touch. Nice detail of the rose petals. Good attention to the stamens/pistils. Like the placement of the rose, off centered but balanced with the pearls.

This is a beautiful piece. I love how the white rose just jumps out at you & the addition of the background faded rose and pearls completes it well. An exceptional mixed media work. Enjoyed it very much.

This is a beautiful rose. There are absolutely no blemishes at all! Where do you find the delicate addition like the gold beads? The soft rose behind it is a layer, right? I especially like the background.

from storefront to front row on the runway this rose delicately placed in a soft green bed of life is simply beautiful.
the pearls simply add to the elegance of the purity and almost virgin offering.

Beautiful work done on this capture of a rose. Colours are excellent, great creativity and imagination. Very nice colour harmony. I like yellow roses.
