I swore I commented on this one. Well, I will now.
We see tons of flowers, but this is a true stand out. The velvet rich tones and beautiful texture - wow, what a close up. |

Wow, thanks a lot guys! My first 6 ... :D Really should thank hubby for pushing me to enter this one.
Appreciate all the helpful comments and constructive feedback. Many pointed out the background would have been better blackened with no detail, even for my previous entry in Yellow. Going by the high votes for such images, I certainly won't disagree. But I still stand with my choice not to do it that way. I actually like the natural bits of subdued colour and design in the back as long as it doesn't make the image look busy. Guess it's personal taste. :)

Very, Very, Very nice.
I actually like the deep DOF on this one, I feel that the leaves are able to add a little something out of the ordinary as well as the other objects in the back. Very nicely done. I think you do a great job with that 'style' of effective background objects to lens a mood. Others keep commenting that they don't like it, but I think the only thing that does is affect the votes slightly. Photographically, it's very nice IMHO.
The only real thing I don't like is the pink fringing that has shown up in places. It's a bit odd and I'm not sure the source. You might use a selective color to shift it every so slightly towards the red scale.
Incidentally, you will notice that your rose is centered on the inner left fifth rather than a third. Works beautifully.
This also proves that you indeed CAN cut off some of the edges of some subjects and retain excellent quality.
PS. HUGE improvement over the yellow rose.

| Hi Eileen, I really expected this to do so much better. The title really described the texture you have captured in this shot. I gave this an 8, only because of the little bits of distraction in the background, but they weren't that huge. You really do these type of shots well. Keep going...AND WORK ON THAT SELF PORTRAIT!!!! Lovely shot |

| Great use of light to emphasize the textures. This is an advanced editing challenge, so I would have removed, or blurred, the objects in the corners. |

| Very nice color and detail. Since this is Advanced Editing, I would have cloned out the bits in the top and lower left corners of the frame for a completely black background. I don't care for the thin red border. |
