Comment from Dick Lee Shia
A fantabulous capture of this candy colored rose with its first set of petals seemingly induced to open by the April rain!

Gorgeous color stands out against a contrasting verdant backdrop!

Impressive framing!
Subtly lit...

Well deserved win!

Congratulations my friend...!

This is just lovely , wonderful salmon and gold rose, well photographed with good focus, this image is clear, exposure is well managed, colors and tones are natural. Well placed in the frame, allowing a good look at its shape and structure. Well composed and presented! Best wishes to you in the contest!

A beauty of a rose and a very fine photograph too. I like the way it stands out from the leaves in the background. Beautiful colors and sharp detail in the rose. Best of luck in the contest.
