The front yard is starting to bloom. I think this might be a teacup rose, please correct me if I am wrong. I am at a toss up with this, and will work a crop without the buds in the lower right also. Please let me know thoughts and suggestions. Thanks.

Bob, I like this as you have it, but then I like backgrounds like that. Most people might like a tighter crop better. Beautiful colors.

Intense complementary colors in this one Bob. I like it very much exactly as posted, although I think it would also be striking if the stems were eliminated, as if the flower and buds were just floating. It would be a different image. Beautiful work for my tastes Bob.

Look how the reds and greens compliment each other.. I like the leaves in the bg and also the branch on the left. I would like to see this beautiful shot with the buds cropped. Either way, it's a dazzler!

Vibrant colors on this one! I am another vote though for cropping the extra buds out of the frame.

Wow the colors are stunning! I like the composition as is, the buds in the corner give a nice balance IMO. Well done. :toast:
