I like the soft focus of the leaves in the background. Great colors and placement of the flower. 9

I'd like to know how you set up this composition. Really top notch with the subtle shades in the background. I think this succeeds in where so many others have failed in that the negative space is actually complementary to the subject. The rose is a bit large relative to the size of the photograph, but there is an elegant simplicity here that lends itself for this challenge. 10

Nice. I really like how subtle the background is. It would make a great wall hanging, would probably look outstanding with some of that metallic photo paper? Anyways, I digress......................great photo :)
