I took this photo at home, first for my mom :) .. then I saw the Challenge and Here I am.. this is my first time:)I hope U like the photo..
This is what I did:

I took a tablecloth and creased it just a little put the rose on top and sprayd water over here 2 get the bling bling on the rose and the leafs and then snapp with a flash Focal length 32.0 mm..

In the P.S.cs2 I did a contrast ( I erased/masked the contrast of the rose), sharpen, and auto Levels and a frame ,save for web

p.s. I hope I did every thing right(Advanced Editing) :,
ok then thanks and god bless ...

Great colors, the lighting works really well on the silk. Good detail in the rose too, nice shot :)

I like the busyness. Did you play with other versions, altering contrast, saturation, whites... or doing b/w? If so, would love to see them when this is over.

Too busy and bright in the background. It makes it hard to see the very nicely done detail in the rose.

The Idea of a rose on a silk cloth is great. But I think it would be better if you used a much softer kind of light from the side. This is very hard and flat. Maybe just ambiebt light, camera on a tripod and a long exposure would have helped?

Love the colours and textures here, in this case the red frame is a perfect compliment, not to mention a daring choice, I think it works for you. 9

- I think this is a good idea...however, the contrast is too much for me here... tone is down just a bit and I think you'll be better off
- Score: 5

Too much contrast for my tastes, and I do not like the selective desat...

Don't know about the rose being slap in the middle of the image, but the metallic look of the silk and the softness of the rose go wonderfully well together.

sorry the lighting and processing aren't working for me here.

Nice texture. I like the contrast between the colorful rose and the silk background.

I don't like the 3 colors working together. the green seems very(too) dark. 5

The background material is too busy for my liking and there's too much light reflection off it. I think I would like to have seen the leaves rather than black 'splodges'.
