Congrats on your second place finish, this is a beautiful yellow rose,my late father-in-law's favorite! It's gorgeous against the black background; you have photographed it so well, I can almost feel the softness of those velvety petals. It's in the perfect stage of blooming, and you have preserved it's beauty in your beautiful photo!

What a gorgeous yellow rose!
I like its position within the frame and the way it is standing out from the black background, I think that black gives such an elegant look!
You have brought out the details in the rose petals .
This is of course, well focused, this image is sharp and clear, exposure is perfect, the colors and tones appear natural.
Well composed and presented! This would be a lovely addition to a calendar featuring flowers as well as a greeting card face.
Best wishes to you in this contest!

The vibrant pop of yellow against the black background is really eye catching. You've captured lovely detail in the rose as it just begins to bloom. The composition and placement within the frame is good too. Simple but effective,

A good looking image posted here into the competition! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us an enjoyable view of that beautiful bloom. Textures, colours and tones are good. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well done and good luck!

Stunning stunner here! :) A perfect entry into the color yellow contest! I don't know if you remove the background and added the black or if it's the way that the photo was taken but that is absolutely perfect. To be able to see all the details of the rose is fabulous. I feel like I could reach out and touch it. Well done. !

    Thank you VERY much Jewell for your wonderful review and high rating!
    I coloured the background in as it was very distracting. . . and I always love flower shots against black.

Beautiful image of the yellow rose which has so much depth of color against the black background. Well framed and the focus is sharp showing clearly the delicate petals as they start to open. :)

    Thanks Charlotte, unfortunately things aren't going well he has been in hospital 3 weeks today, came out of critical care for a couple of days and got pneumonia and infection around wound so back to critical care. Back on ward yesterday but there are still complications and surgeon and his partner are conferring whether to operate again. They don't want to as it will be high risk but they may have no choice if the holes in lung don't start repairing. Sorry I rambled there but it is a day by day situation.

    Oh Mary, I?m so sorry, I was so hoping that everything was working out. And you?re not rambling at all, it must be constantly on your mind, it?s such a worry for you! I did ask, and will keep asking, so feel free to ramble, rant and roar whenever you want or need to! Charlotte

Hi Charlotte, Love the side shot of this rose! You certainly picked a beautiful one to photograph. The rose is so pristine and I love the way the bottom petal falls. with the darkness you made this rose shine. The rose is vivid with wonderful lighting and focus. Great shot for the yellow contest! Good Luck! :o) Nancy
