Especially lovely, and well thought out to make an excellent image and also a good story.

I knew this was yours! I believe it deserved a better placing yet by my scores so far that's not a good indicator. Things are indeed delightfully nice in your part of the world. I'll find some of those Hamilton photos I took to scan one to show you what an 'unfair' advantage you have down there! I can't wait to see what you do with the Southern Cross! Does it make an interesting 'Star Trail'?

I think you have done an excellent job on this challenge. I can 'feel' the thorn when I reach for the rose...

Excellent picture. The color contrast is perfect. White balance is a bit on the brighter side. Slightly darker picture could have captured the texture of petals too.

great idea, think the thron needs a bit more focus.

Great POV. Very interesting composition and texture contrast.

Are you sure that's a rose? I wish the thorns had been in focus instead of the flower, or both.

IMHO you should've focused on the thorns because that shows more texture than the flower.

Nice detail and well taken. The composition could be a little better, there is almost too much to look at here.

nice use of the thorns to frame out in interesting aspect of your composition. To make this solid image a bit better, I'd like to see the foreground in crisp focus (since thorns are in your title)

Actually, I would have liked this better without the thorns. Nicely photographed, though.

Beautifully photographed and certainly meets the challenge.

Well lit, and I suspect a genuinely 'found' subject, but the leaves are distracting, and the stalk being almost exactly on the edge of the focal plane is confusing. Visually, the texture seems to be primarily visible on that stalk, and yet it's barely in focus - makes the image confusing and rather odd.
