I suppose Gordon, but not Rosemary, will be happy. A nice, simple image that fits with the title. 5.

I gave this shot a 5. I like the detail and clarity. The perspective from the side of the match is nice. I just don't find it very interesting.

I like the way the depth of field creates a diagonal.

A nice classic shot. A bit more depth of field might be nice.

Comment by Damon:
this is a good macro shot but I think it may have been better with less water drops because that seems to be all that I see first before the rose.

(voted earlier, coming back to comment)
My team and I were marveling at the dearth of comments in this challenge so I thought I would at least attempt to correct that a little:

I would love to know how you've done this - I'm assuming small threads to hold up the petals? It's a top idea. Perhaps your composition could be altered a little as it feels unbalanced. Also, it must have been difficult to not damage the petals, but I would probably have healed/cloned out a lot of the damaged and brown bits. I like the lighting - it almost makes the flower glow.

But it's a petal, surely...?
