The person here is quite well hidden, though I can see him against the light. This is a very nice shot.

Fairly good job of hiding Waldo. Didn't spot him immediately. But still too easy for my satisfaction. But it is a really nice black and white. I love the trees lining the road (?). Curiosity - are those posts places for the people to tie their horses in the olden times? That's what they appear to be. I really like this photo. Nice one.

Greetings from the Critique Club };-)

Initial thoughts
Breathtaking, meets the challenge, Color and texture are fantastic!

Composition/ Content
Really super, the lighting is as good as it gets. The color of the rose and greenery against the black really makes it stand out. I wonder what the rose would look like with just a bit more tilt to the left.

Background
The black background is perfect. I see no graininess and it really emphasizes the roses color.

Camera Work - Technical
Focus on the petals is really what made this a killer shot. The texture on that one petal is really a grabber. I noticed that you had folks both for and against the water drops on the flower. I can go either way with it.

Digital Processing - Technical
Perfect.

Fits The Challenge
A beautiful flower is quite a cliche, but done so well.

My Opinion On The Photo
Congrats on the ribbon,it is well deserved. There was a ton of competition in this category and you came through with flying colors. Happy Valentines Day!

I would be happy to talk further about this shot if you would like to contact me.

This is a wonderful photo, I love it. Even Waldo hiding in the middle there doesn't spoil it at all. Good shot!

Excellent picture and perfect placement of Waldo. Can barely make him out, but you CAN so that gives you a 9. :)
