Wow. I like this unusual perspective, cropped much tighter than the traditional rose photo. The curves and colors are very sensual. On one hand, I'd like to see the depth of field a bit greater, so I can see more than one petal in crisp focus, but on the other hand, I like how it sort of melts away into the background. Nice job!
THis is a beautiful rose shot. so velvety, so gracefully curvaceous! all the richness and stiring all the emotion of a red velvet prom dress in a heap on the floor
finally a picture of a flower that is interesting. I like that you found the texture and folds, and showed it to me. Wonderful- would have liked it cropped to avoid the yellow at top.
Nice composition, though on my monitor it;'s a bit dark and I can't see as much detail as I'd like to. In fact, it's so dark that I didn't immediately identify it as a rose.
