A beautiful red rose with some nice embellishments to enhance the photo. Looks like some layer work that you did to create this fine image. Good entry for the contest and some beautiful work here.

Nice job of layering. Overall composition just right. The darkness gives an overall sense of mystery. Good luck on the contest.

The quality look of this flower is elegant, but the back ground does not compliment it.

I guess I'm in a 5 giving mood today.
Thanks for sharing this for review.

A beautiful red rose with layers upon layers of soft red pedal. Nice contrast with the green leaves. The assessors add a nice creative touch. Framed well,

Impact is stunning! Shades of red are awesome and love the flower and its beauty bursting out into the picture.

Very nice indeed. Enough 'twiddly' bits to make it interesting without overdoing it. I may have put the rose ever so slightly further into the corner losing some of the leaves. Overall good piece

This is a beautiful image and certainly an excellent entry into the contest. Very nice folds and shadows give depth to the fabric background. Also, I don't know what the metallic accents are to the right of the flower, but they do really set it off.

The folds of the red drapery behind the rose really add to the elegance of the piece. It gives the piece an elegance that just the flower wouldn't have. REally nice. Good luck.

impact 5 color 5 light 5 like the metallic leaf like things against the soft folds of the cloth and petals of the rose. Great capture of the petals in contrasts and light and detail i the leaves.
