Nice photo! Probably even better with less of the frame...

Okay, I must admit that I've been of the feeling flower pictures in this challenge were a little too 'easy' -- which is to say, not all that original. But this is just stunning. I even don't mind the border; it gives it a very post-cardy feel, and I'm a big fan of commercial art when it's done well, so that's a plus. Also, I'm really impressed you managed to find what appears to be a completely perfect white rose. Very nice.

I'm not sure if I like such a tight crop. If I was gonna try it this tight I would try and get the center of the rose more off center! Also the framing is quite overbearing. I would rather see no or almost no border and MORE IMAGE!

This is very pretty. Love the crop. The flower is beautiful and I love way the petals are slowly opening with the center still tightly closed. I gave this an 8. Probably would have given it a 9 but there seems to be quite a bit of yellow in the shadows of the petals. Nice job.

Nice, although the excessive border takes away from the picture. Would have been higher - 7.

Nice high-key shot.

A good macro in sublte and naturel tones which radiates from the centre. The near static composition benefits this effect.

The excessively decorative border, unfortunately, diminished both the potential image size and the claim of the title.

Love your photo and in this case the border helps the picture. Wonderful photo. 10
