Should have ranked higher. I don't get those low votes at all.

this shot is too blurry...could be sharper...Just Kidding!!

The red really stands out against the black and white borders. 8

it fits the challenge very nicely, though i think the image itself fits uncomfortably with the oppressively black, thick and heavy border. normally, i like a big black chunky border, but here it detracts from the delicacy of the rose. maybe if the reds were bolder or the contrast higher, frame and subject might complement each other more... 6.

I don't care for the thick border, but I do like the sqaure crop here and how you've placed the center of the rose. Nice soft focus effect too, good job.

Beautiful. The black border is a bit heavy looking for the fragile flower but I like the look you've created here.

I love the black border as it really addes to this...I know they are not popular with the voters, but I love this 9

I was going to enter something just like this but it didn't come out anywhere near as good as this. Love the composition. Good luck!
