A lovely picture of a rose, but I can't help think it would me more iconically Ansel if it had some driftwood too :-)

I still predict this will score well though.

I have a feeling this is going to win, or top 3. But where's the wood for balance?

The detail is just exquisite. Definetly a top contender in my opinion.

Excellent working of the tonalities, great detail and DOF. I'm really bugged by the way the "turned" section of petal on the lower left border is an eyetrap that pulls me away from the center of the image where I want to rest: I wish you'd carefully isolated and toned down that one spot, it would have paid great dividends in overall impact.

no doubt inspired by Ansel's less well know sephia photography. nice but the color will hurt you I suspect.

There must be LIFE here somewhere?

lots to look at but no real center of interest. Toning ell done and sharpness works for over all image.

I don't really know what to say. I like it in some ways but for the most part it is just too busy for me.
