A good looking entry into the competition posted here! Cannot believe that pretty rose is still blooming in that harsh winter climate. Nicely done!

Thanks nikman.

Wonderful initial impact, we are immediately drawn to the single rose and then we notice to softness in the wintery background , it's a perfect placement of the rose there on the right and the sun up on the left diagonally above it.
The rose is well created with nice shape , structure and the vibrant color that shows so well even though its petals are covered in frost. .
This is one that makes a person stop and think, we should always keep going .
Beautiful work Allan.
