| You know, at first, the rose looked like it was cut and pasted onto the background. The strange outline on the top of the bud made me think this. However, As I was trying to shoot a photo for the pencil challenge, I came upon the same strange black outline in one of my photos that I had taken too close to the computer screen. I definately get the newness in the photo and it is a beautiful rose. Looks like you played with the colors a bit. The red looks unnaturally too red, however, the same thing creating the mystery black outline may be causing the redness to also be off. I like the angle and closeness of the rose and I like how it's lit and the background is far off. Nice photo, good luck in the challenge. |

| Too many "flower" shots in this challenge, but there are some good ones. I like the detail and focus on the rosebud, and the colors are great, but the blurry background is distracting... to me anyway. I would have dropped it closer I guess. |

| i love the shape of the rose with those leaves pointing up and down in opposite directions. i would like to see more texture in the red of the rose. -- gr8photos (7) |

| I love the high contrast in this. The colours are beautiful and vibrant. There's something about the composition that makes this rose seem as though it just "sproinged" out of the ground like that plant in the BC comics :). It has a kind of joyous look to it. |

| The red is washed out. Where's the texture? |

| Reminds me of Mapplethorpe in color. just a little more depthe would have made this one ideal, but the focus goes soft just on the center leaf. Also, I may have cropped to allow both the raised and lowered leaves to run off the corners this would have hidden the tiny diseased end on the left. Otherwise excellent marks - 9 |

| The colors seem unreal in this photo, and the frontal light gives the bud a flat appearance. |

I would think that most people would agree that this is way too oversaturated. You're losing a lot of detail in the petals by saturating the colors this much. Plus, I would probably try to frame it differently. The two leaves branching off to either side are a little distracting with the rose being framed so tightly.
Score: 3

| The colour is so rich it seems to be creating a smudged look. Perhaps a really sharp image with a little less contrast would have worked better... |

| I find the lighting much too harsh to do the flower justice - especially the black shadow at the top of the stem. |

| Great shot, I like the background a lot. However, the red looks a little too saturated - something fixed in photoshop, perhaps? |
|

| Not sure I like the saturation on the red. The green I like, but the red overpowers it. |

| I especially enjoyed this shot. Very nice. The isolation of the subject with the control of the depth of field makes it work for me. Thank you for submitting it. 10 Morgan |

| Nice flower, but I think the colours are a bit off...the background shouldn't be so dark. |

| The deep color reminds me of Fujicolor film. Nice balance composition. My one nitpick is that I think the green background is almost too much and tends to compete a little with the subject. I think that a solid background (white paper) might help isolate the subject. How's this look when printed? |

| Personally I think there is too much contrast in this image, I think you over cooked the levels adjustment slightly? tomlewis1980 |

Wishing you were allowed non traditional ratios. Would like to crop just above upper leaf so leaves make diagonal across whole photo.

| I liked the contrast of the green and res it looks really nice! And the sharpness of the close up is really good, nice shot! |

| It is beautiful but the colors and contrast seem a little too harsh.. |
|

| Mind your focus! With a shot like this, it is usually the front/middle of the flower that gets the focus, not the back. |

| Nice contrast, although it's not quite in total focus. |
