| I think I originally called it " A Rose by any other name" which is pretty boring lol |

| We'll never know, but I have a feeling that this one would have done even better than the castle shot you entered into OBSOLETE (which still smoked mine, lol). Can't agree with smile4me about the frame (just a matter of taste, but it's not to mine), but what I do especially like is the rose itself... backlighting is wonderful, and those 'veins' I guess you'd call them really do give it a wonderful effect. What would you have titled this? |

I do at times get tired of seeing flowers in all the challenges - but only when I cannot imagine any possible way that they meet the challenge theme. This flower is actually a good photo for the Obsolete challenge.
I love the strong focus on the rose, and the blurred background. Gives a 3D type feel. The lighting is perfect as it accentuates the veins in the petals, and reflects off the curled dried out edges.
You have a beautiful shot here that you held back on entering due to the rants of others. Do not let the ranters stifle your creativity. I would have given you a 9 or 10 for this. |

| I like to see this - a dried rose. Rarely do you see that versus the budding ones covered with dew. Nice composition. Lovely coloring. |

That's the best picture of a dead flower that I've seen. Really love the shallow DOF, and the way the backlighting comes through the veins of the petals.
I hope you don't continue to let the rants of a few people continue to influence what you enter. After all, your images are your vision, not theirs.
Keep up the good work. |
