A Tribute to my Big Brother

I like the softness in the rose which makes a gentle flow of the color against dark background.
However, the image is a little bit too blur to me and because of that, lacking the texture definition.
Thank you for sharing.

I'm so sorry for your tragic loss. This is a beautiful tribute. I like the angle you used for this shot of the beautiful rose and the black background makes a perfect frame. Lighting and focus very good showing excellent detail. Very nice composition. Suzanne

Your notes are very touching and I am so sorry for your loss. You are so right, we should never take our loved ones for granted and show through our everyday life how much we love them. I think this simple little rose bud is a nice tribute to your brother, and I am sure he would have been very greatful for this token of love.
I am not going to review this photo in an ordinary way. Just tell you that it is lovely photo in all its simplicity. It is a token of how simple also love can be if we meet it with an open heart.

So sad to have lost him. I lost a son suddenly and the pain continues, but always grateful for the memories. This is so poignant, your notes brought tears to my eyes. What a lovely tribute to your brother.

Oh, your review made me cry, too. Yes, the pain continues. I do not know, how to cope losing a son! October 5, is coming, so I'm struggling with sadness, a little bit. Thanks for that personal thoughts, and great rating. Thanks, click.

This is definitely one of those times when the essence of a work of art goes beyond the fundamental techniques and rules of engagement. I have to say that it is a beautiful rose, and for the most part a really good photograph. Your focus is a bit soft on it, but the emotional essence of it makes up for the technical glitch at this moment. I do know what it is like to lose someone very near and dear to your heart. I lost my Mother, July 8th 2011, and I still shed the tears for her that I just can't hold back. I even catch myself picking up the phone to call and tell her when something good happens to me. They say that time heals, but it doesn't, time just gives us a way of learning to cope with the situation and to find outlets so that the real pain doesn't stay with us always. And life does mimic the rose in a lot of ways...it buds, it blooms, and then all too soon the petals fall off and it is gone. But it isn't gone forever, it does bloom again. Just as one day you will be reunited with your brother in a much better place. And I feel sure that he is still watching over you because you still have to go on. He has no more worries, no more sorrows, only light and love. So he watches over you until the time he will meet you at the gate and welcome you home. Then the two of you will have eternity to spend laughing and living in the way it was meant to be. It is an honor that you show him this type of love and remembrance. And as long as you remember him, he will never be truly gone nor forgotten. A part of him will always reside in your heart forever. Just hold tight to that and you will know he is with you in spirit.

Carla, you are also gifted to be a Counselor and an Author. So sorry about your Mom, too. That is still pretty recent. I agree with you, time does not heal, but the Lord, will just give us that strength to bear the pain. I can't really modify the color of the rose, I do not have the good editing tools, yet. This is the natural color, maybe photo shop can darken it. Love your wisdom and insights and oh that rating is so HIGH! Thanks again.

You are welcome for the review, and I guess I should tell you that I actually have a Bachelor's of Science Degree in Criminal Justice as a Forensic Psychologist, and a minor in criminal investigation. And I use to write a lot, mostly poetry and short stories, but I did actually write a novel once but didn't try to get it published I was more interested in seeing if I could do it. Actually sit down and write a novel from start to finish. But none of that matters when you are discussing matters of the heart and the emotional side of things. When you are, the thoughts and feelings just come out in words. And on the photo about the soft focus, that is a matter of sharpening. The color of the rose is fine, or you could darken it or make it a stronger color with saturation level adjustments. If you have any questions or need some help just let me know and I'll try to help even if it means helping you find someone that knows more about that myself.

WOW! You are pretty sharp. You need to write a book and have that published, because you are a woman with substance. Your thoughts have certain degree of depth. Very impressive resume, on the Academic side, but most of all I love the humility of your spirit. Blessed to have met you here. I like your heart.
-
Thank you so very much for your kindness and thoughtfulness in regards to me and my heart. I can't say that the best of me always shows but I do try for the most part to try and make sure the worst don't come out too often.
-
Oh and one more thing, I am very proud and honored to have met you on here as well. All of us has things we can learn or teach others, it's just a matter of finding the ones that is willing to try.
-
Yes!

Then it's all good, my soulman!!!

I wish I had six for this, but I have not any. I feel the loss of your brother, and I think this cute bud of rose, is a very tender tribute of filial love. I like the composition in diagonal and dark background, great lighting and sharpness.
Well done.

Beautifull Rose. Great composition and tribute to your brother. Nice focus although a little soft, nice colour clarity and nice DOF with the darkened background. Nice camera work. Well done.
