This is a beautiful photograph of the yellow rose against a dark background. The focus and clarity are excellent showing great detail of the flower and the petals. The dark background shows off the yellow well.

Hi Allan.. This is one of the finest photographs of a rose I have seen in quite a while.

This is a beautiful combination of excellent framing and the best of technical camera skills.

And I got the receipts - petal crenulations and veins are exquisitely demonstrated throughout. The colors are crisp and not over saturated, natural in shade and tonality.

What really gets my attention is the very high contrast between the bloom and the background - bravo.

Finally - there is just enough greenery both high resolution and soft to lend a balanced look to this fine piece.

I love it... Bob

This is so beautiful and sharp. Each petals are pretty vivid especially against the dark background. Lighting, angle, and focus is spot on.
Framing placement suits well. A lovely scene.
