Coming back to leave a comment - I like how the old rose still has touches of youth and the "new" rose is starting to show its age! The colors are also very nice throughout.

Nice composition. I wish the flash could be a bit wider so the bottom left of the net is lit like the rest os it.

I never had to do that to be a man. It looks really uncomfortable.8

I like the contrast between the two flowers, although an increase in brightness (at least in the new flower) would have made this picture stand out more.

Aw bummer I thought I had a good shot. But it's shots like this one that bring me to realize I havn't yet managed it. This shot is an inperational shot that shows how flawless and lovely a shot can be with just the addition of somthing as siple as a net. Without the net this might have been a 5 or six. But just adding a simple net you managed to win one of my tightly hel 10. Great shot keep up the wonderfull work.
