BEAUTIFUL! I absolutely love this photo... nice job Sher, I think it should have scored much higher.

Positives - As a photo, this is absolutely beautiful... nice job with the soft focus and good cropping (I personally think) I like how the green offsets the pink, and I don't think it would have fit the challenge if it wasn't for that. I know some people counted down because it wasn't extremely bright and or saturated, but I think it fit the challenge perfectly..,. hey there are colors there, and beautiful ones at that! Great lighting and use of DOF. I really think this is just extremely well done!

Negatives - I'm not crazy about the border, but thats just a personal thing... The brown streak in the bottom left hand corner (prolly a leaf) is somewhat distracting and detracts from the beauty. Some of the extra little brownish green things coming in on the left are a little distracting. These are all very nitpicky things though...

Overall I think you did a wonderful job! Keep up the good work, I think this photo is truly beautiful (frame it and hang it on the wall! ;-) ) Cheers!

I love this image, it is too bad that most people will expect something highly saturated this challenge. An 8!

Pretty shades of pink. I like the soft focus on this image.The irregular and almost in focus leaves do not do the rose justice.

I quite like the diffuse lighting here. Hmm... I might like it a tad more if the light was a little warmer looking.

I like the color and composition of this photo but the first thing that caught my eye was that light spot on the top left corner of the image. The DOF looks to be well done and the lighting is nice and soft giving an overall soft “feel” to the petals. This is a fairly common subject in the DPC challenges so a winning rose picture must be very exceptional. After all I think we have all seen some stunning rose photos which makes it more difficult to score well with this subject. I think you have done a good job with this one and aside from that bright spot I don’t see anything that I would change. Good work, I gave it a 5.

Beautiful macro! I love the way the pink just melts into the white, the shallow DOF does a lot for this photo - 10.
