What a beautiful rose, Albert! Lucky you to have such beauties in your garden. Very interesting mixture of colors; I especially find the yellow adds a unusual glowing feel to this rose. Nice capture with good details.

I love the glowing yellow resulting from the nice lighting. I am not as enamored with the the comp, which feels cut off at the bottom. This could be just my subjective preference for vertical comps when stems are included, which may be too conventional on my part.

Excellent yellow glow emanating from the base of the rose bloom.

Lovely specimine Albert. The twist of the petals and the colors are really sharp. That said I really think there's more potential here. For some reason, the flat grey BG just doesnt grab me. Maybe darkening it, or using a gradient would add a little something more. As always, just my opinion...

A beutiful rose portrait, with soft colors and a wonderful subtle BG- Like very much the contrast between the delicate palette and the strong yellow of the rose- Very well done, Fabio

Wonderful yellow glow, Albert, and a lovely overall colour range - the bg being just right for these colours.
