Very pretty photo!!! Good texture and brilliant color overall. I like how you staged the subject on the wooden surface and then vignetted the flower thus transforming everything else into a sort of matte. Expertly done!!! V

Wow, this rose easily takes center stage, Christy! Love the contrast between the rough-textured neutral tone of the wood and the delicate petals of the fully opened, brilliantly colored rose. A very sweet, casual image! Voted.

Franklin Square, NY - United States

Christy, Fantastic job at taking something so simple and making it into a real work of art. The rose is so detailed and clear, and has such beautiful colors to it. Love the contrast of the gorgeous rose sitting on the old wooden fence. Great feature with the light hitting the rose in just the right place. Nice job at blurring out the foreground of the fence, along with the background so the whole photo is all about the rose. Fantastic job. VOTED and FAVORITED

Christy, apart from the beautiful pink rose as the center piece of this shot, comes the faded shades that surrounds the main attraction, and bring more life and attention to the rose as the queen of this image V+F)
