This is an amazing watercolor! The detail of the petals is outstanding. I love the way the green stem contrasts the bright pinks and yellows. Great job!!

This is indeed a unusual angle. There are few artworks which show flowers from behind, but I have never seen any close up with the beauty hanging down. Your smooth brush strokes remind me of paintings by Gloria O'Keeffe. The colors are fascinating. The painting is well composed. The flower is perfect placed within the frame.

Never would have thought this was water colours, nice details of the flower here, the colours are rich and the green holding the flower together is well detailed, nice way to paint a flower, never would have thought of doing this in a million years

    Actually, this is not difficult to paint. Try it. You'll love it. You need to wait till the paint dries before adding a top layer to bring out the lines and textures. Let the colours flow into each other. Thanks very much for your time and nice review. I appreciate it!

Yes, a pretty good looking entry into the competition posted here! Your fine and appropriate composition certainly found an original angle to shoot your pretty bloom from. Colours and tones are lovely. Well created and good luck!

This is a creative angle to the composition.
A flower from any angle is interesting. The green stem and the flower show great details with the lines and tone. The colors are lovely and complimentary. Good focus and clarity. well balanced.

This is definitely a very artistic and unexpected angle work of art. The colors are nicely pastel soothing to the eye. The green stem is very prominent and is very complimentary to the petals.

A great entry for the contest and I wish you all the best in the voting ~ Steve

This is beautiful ! Very well rendered it's a rose in such an interesting position as seen from the back . I like the way you created this to look like a photograph with emphasis on the green flower casing, the colors here are so pretty and well applied, nice show of the detail in the petals too. Well presented! Best wishes to you in this contest!

I love the color palette you used. All the tones you created in the shadows and light are so nice. It's such a good contrast to that green stem. The location of the stem and all the lines leading to it make for a solid composition.
