I love how you focused on one color for the challenge, and that you really I guess went further, by giving it a love theme :)

I would just keep the rose and the box, bear is ruining the setting!, 8 from me!

Cute idea. The white background may make this a little too severe however.

Poor bear looks a bit oversaturated. I like the color in the flower, but even the petals look a little 'red cast.' Very colorful!

The red teddy is a bit too much for me, it looks a bit, er... 'devilish'.
Technically speaking it's a well composed, balanced shot. Good focus and contrast.

Nicely done. Perfect composition and well focused. The border adds a nice touch. Reminds me of a Hallmark ad. I like the placement of the pink rose to break up the red. The one stem sticking up out of the bear kind of confuses me and doesn't seem to belong there.

Too much saturation on this poor bear. He is red, but He looks soaked in blood here. at some point, too much color starts to look fake.

Aww how sweet! I like it, the reds come out well on a white background, that's always a safe bet for color contrasts. The flower just adds to the impact, good shot.

This photo shows effective use of color and is very appropriate for the challenge this week. The composition is not bad, but possibly could be made to be more interesting. Something about the bright area in the center of the top of the picture doesn̢۪t work for me. I am not sure if it is just too bright or if it has to do with the lines of the leaves in that region of the image. The other thing that I might change if it were my photo is the lighting. The light appears to be a tad harsh, especially on the lid of the candy box. The specular on the front edge of the box it a bit much for my taste. I also don̢۪t like the way the glittery flecks in the paper of the box are reflecting so much light. I think this picture would have looked very nice using available or natural light. You might be able to construct some simple diffusers for your light sources to improve this as well. I think this is a good effort and I gave it a 5.

The red color is bold. The pink rose sets the red off nicely. Good work.

I think the red is too dominant, and throws off the balance. IMOH I think just the rose and the bear OR the rose and the heart would look nicer. Nice background choice, great focus and rich color.
