 I took this with red construction paper a rose and some red material draped over the rose to give it more contrast. Since it seemed the spotlights would change the color of the construction paper lighter when it was shined on it. I didn't do anything else to the photo left it completely alone. Predicting around hopefully high 5's for this challenge since it seems thats where I stay safe.

this would have been much stronger if the flower was a bit sharper and i think there needs to be a bit more contrast.

I like the texture of the cloth. Parts of the rose seem a bit unfocused and it distracts me.

I'd prefer the focus to be on the flower.

I really like the softness that you have captured in this picture. Red can be a very harsh colour, but here it just seems warm and inviting. very crisp and clean. well done

Well executed image, but I'm a little distracted by the thorn on bottom right.

The subject is a bit too centered for the picture to really shine.
