This would have been better a bit bigger, but it is lovely. The choice of colour in the background works well and i vote this a 9.Great shot

This is an excellent specimen of a rose and very well photographed. Composition is excellent with the primary center of attention (the center of the rose) following the rule of thirds nicely. Lighting is perfect - nice and soft with no harsh shadows. I'm sure "everyone" will tell you to use more of the availabe file size to get a higfher score.

Great shot however I feel you've negatively impacted your score by such a small image...Take advantage of maximizing your file size (150MB) and be sure to use as much of the 640 pixels.

hrmm...yeah, it's definately yellow. Seems like the focus might be a bit soft although it's hard to tell beacuse the photo is so small. I like the composition -- that being said, it's just really hard to really look deeper into it given its lack of size.

Looks like an excellent shot, but it's too hard to judge because of the small size.

WAY too small. Ignore DPI (it is for printing only). When done editing, resize to 640 on the long side, then do a final USM sharpengin and save as JPG using the quality/compression slider/control to get it below 147k Even as low as 100k is fine.

It is a bit small to tell for sure, but try running a pass of USM with settings of 35%, 60 radius and t-hold of 1. The rose seems to be hazy and that 'trick' will brighten it up.

Nice use of color, the green background. off center comp is working too. too bad it is toooooo smalllllll.

Could this have been made larger? It's really nice but small.

Very pretty shot, but use the full 640 pixels on the long side so voters can see your work better. :) This really is nice, but the size makes it so hard to see. 6
