Very nice, Ian. I like the colors and overlook look, enhanced by your post processing (the glow). Goes perfectly with the subject.

Ian, what strikes me in this composition is the marvelous angles in the petals and yet, somehow you have retained the softness normally associated with Roses.

Nice job.

Ian - The darkish background sets off the light toned Roses very nicely. The "open" rose showing the details in the center makes the composition strong.

I like the seperation you've achieved of subject to background Ian. Very well done in my opinion.

Beautiful light and color Ian. Super separation. It's gorgeous. No suggestions.

Interesting perspective and I like the light effect on the closed rose while the other open rose shows the center detail well, way to go.

I like this a lot! I do wonder how this would look in a pano crop from the bottom. :smile:
