Superbly crafted image, Fabio - the essence of a rose is captured here beautifully in my view, with a fine composition, nice detail in the petals and a perfect bg.

Beautifully done Fabio. Interesting placement in the frame. It seemed a little odd to me at first but the more I look at it, the more I like it. Beautiful bg and light as well. Very fine flora photography.

Fabio: Beautiful subject and excellent DOF management and BG. I like this as is but my conventional brain would prefer it moved a bit to the left in the frame. >=))>

The Camellias are starting to nbloom here too -
beautiful image - nice detail in the flower, and nice BG.
I have mixed feelings about the comp - I believe I might move the flower to a more traditional comp to the left, and also perhaps keep only the top 2 leaves.
Very nice as is, though -

Very nicely done Fabio. Not an easy flower to present but you have done very well here.

I think the centered comp works fine, just the right amount of space around the subject too.
Like the soft light, level of detail, and accurate colors as well.
Simple beauty, very nice work Fabio :wavey:
