wow, the rose is quite capivating... the only minus is the blurriness of the bottum pedals... sometimes that cant be helped tho, as i have entered shots with a little blur in them... nice shot...

This is nice. I like the colors and the layout. Only thing I would like more is if the whole flower was sharp. Nice job.

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 :)

Beautifully done. I know that two word critiques are frowned upon, but there is not much I can find to improve this.

This is a good example of negative space. The rose may need a little more color.

Very beautiful! The rose pedals seem a little out of place... like they do not go with the leaves... however, I scored it a 9. I love the colors and contrast. Great job!
