This rose politely asked for a portrait to be taken. Who was I to refuse.

I love the frame-filling pinks and wonderful detail. You've made every pixel count here. Just beautiful

Beautiful shot of a beautiful subject. I can never find roses that look this pristine.

Great color, wonderful lines, and an excellent glow from the light Bob. Great work.

Bob:
I like the lighting here especially the glow on the right half. The color looks good and the flower is in its prime. The only suggestion I can think of is perhaps using a reflector to give some fill to the left side.

I am glad you talk to your flowers. Our Ikebana instructor always tell us to communicate with the flower before starting an arrangement

Beautifully gentle and subtly sensual. Great placement choice for the center.

A lovely blushing rose Bob, I like Gary suggestion of a little more fill light, but other wise this is a lovely image. Beautiful work.
