Great capture. Too bad there's so much stuff in the background. Really well done though. I like how they are mostly facing the same way - Inspzil

Such a simple subject and yet such a strong photo. This gets a 10 from me because of it's incredible detail and vibrancy. I want to reach out and touch it. I almost think I can smell it! The black background is very effective and I like the subtle use of DOF - only the stem in the lower corner is out of focus - spot on! Colour and lighting are excellent. This is the kind of image I can imagine people dismissing as cliched, or lacking in imagination, but I think it's so excellently executed that it has very strong appeal regardless!

beautifully taken macro...the black background sets the rose off nicely. Good job.
