Beautiful, Srini. I like the positioning of the two gorgeous, impeccable roses. It would be nice if there was not the dark bare area in the LLC. I don't know whether you can lighten that area to bring out some the bg to fill it in, but this is minor.

No real nits to speak of. You've done a fine job with the composition and processing. I appreciate that each rose is fully in focus.
My only suggestion would be to darken all the foliage somewhat, with the corners and edges possibly a bit more. It would help highlight the flowers even more.

Srini:

Wow! This is beautiful, real luscious, creamy and delicious

Scott comment is valid and it would be nice to balance up the image. An alternative to brightening this up is to put a slight vignette mask over this.

Very nice! You handled the DOF here wonderfully...just the right amount of focus and the leaves form a perfect BG without being too busy.

Beautiful! The flowers achieve separation from the background and a creamy yet tack-sharp texture. I like the lightness down the centers..usually it gets brassy and dark in those hard-to reach folds. Exceptional photo.

Srini: Dynamic duo. Really good DOF/Plane of focus management. Beautiful subjects superbly captured and presented. >=))>

Well done, Srini! The roses are perfection. My only suggestion would be to darken the BG leaves enough to bring them closer to the dark space in the LLC.

Two beautiful roses, nicely positioned in the frame and wonderfully sharp.

These really pop off of the screen. Well done.
