Congrats on your second place finish. I figured this image would do well in the contest. A perfect low key images using light to perfection. I like the composition with the rule of thirds placement of the rose. Very enjoyable to view.

Annie, this is a wonderful presentation of a rose laying silently in a heavy ornamental glass bowl. The beauty of rose is fleeting but is renewed each new rose. this is a beautiful design piece. Ray

Art deco glass is always fun to photograph.

The lighting makes this shot by focusing the viewers eye on the contrasting color of the rose.

Your camera settings are exquisite. Highlights from the glass are where they will give the most to the shot.

What really blew me away is the reflection of the rose in the glass.

This should do very well in the contest, so good luck... Bob

A beautiful picture of the red Rose resting on the side of your beautiful black & white glass bowl, the soft light highlighting the Rose. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting, taken with superb camera techniques& sharp focus.
Good luck in the contest.
Susan

Beautiful still life image taken in low key.
The darkened background makes the vase and rose stand out perfectly.
The shape of the vase adds to impact.
Sharp focus.

This is such a fantastic example of low key photography. The glass bowl makes a perfect way to display the single red rose and I love the way you placed it there,
The rose is so well photographed with spot on focus, this image is sharp and clear , I like the way the light touches the rose to emphasize its structure and the way bowl comes forward from the darkness here.
This is so well composed and presented!
Very best wishes to you in this contest !

A very interesting and creative visual presented here. I love your dark background that highlights that rose perfectly the colours shades come out in a pleasant way. Well done. Thank you for sharing.

I love the effect this has, the gray of the bowl outline against the black is quite striking, and the red rose is perfect. Well presented and very nice to look at. I like this for Valentines
