 Last minute entry. I know flower photos generally don't appeal so no expectations.
I have been busy for the last couple of weeks so haven't entered anything, and decided to enter on the day of close. Found some old rose-hips in the garden which gave me the idea. Took the bud picture in the early morning with light from the right, the full rose in the middle of the day and the rose hips in the evening with light from the left to try and give a unified feel to combined result. Then selected the best shots with the most compatable backgrounds and put it together.

Almost no editing - resize, USM, and borders.

My first entry using my new f1.4 lens.

Could have been an excellent study of one flower - but time is needed. Although the individual exposures seems OK the overall impression is too dark for my taste

The quality of image goes down as you go to the right. The lighting is excellent on the left, it's a little harsh in the center, and perhaps oversharpened on the right. The highlight on the right is also a distraction. Composition is nice though and your idea fulfills its goal.

5 - Nice. Good coloring. Criticism; difficult at this size, but to see more detail in all would be good, but I realize it is not easy. Would perhaps like to see the center shot with a similar 'bokeh' background, giving more 'flow' and balance, but perhaps you were going for the difference with the center shot, not sure.

Good idea, and good use of narrow depth of field.
