Good try but it could have been a nicer shot without the blown highlights. Also the background blacks needed to be darker to bring out the white rose.

this is really quite pretty. don't feel texture much, almost the opposite. it's soft (as it should be) and the texture is sort of washed out as a result.

Great idea but I think that some of the white is a bit too blown out which hasnt helped to maintain some of the definition and thus the texture of the flower. Adjusting the curves if you have photoshop would help with regaining some of the definition

overexposed. White is tough tough tough to do texture correctly.

unfortunetly the flower is somewhat washed out leaving little texture in the petals although in fact the whole flower is it's own texture. 6

It's very pretty, particularly the light... but seems a bit too soft IMO...I keep wanting to see more of the petal textures because I know they're there somewhere...please do not get me wrong...I have nothing against "softness" in general...I just would have loved to have a bit more "texture" in this pretty rose.

Nice close-up, but the flower lacks definition. Appears flat and looks more like a white glob. A little overexposed. A little darkening would bring out the shadows more. Also needs focus.

nice macro, but no texture...

Lovely flower. With the soft focus I can't really see any sort of texture here though.

I think this one would fare better with a little more sharpness and fewer blown highlights on the leaves.

Not enough definition.
