Roses Are Red

Challenge: Red

Based on the critique from DB Hans, I reworked this photo.
I was not able to do anything about the upper leaves
but I did remove the shadow on the left and shortened/fixed the leaf
that was leaving the bottom of the image.

Stunning.... I love it. I have to agree with the others... you can almost feel the velvet touch. Beautiful, full of romance!

Beautiful, love the composition.

First I really like the composition and the water drops add nicely. The exposure is good on the subject and the colors are perfect. I find the two large leaves in the background slightly distracting especially where the shadow falls across the leaf on the left. Did you use flash here? Also a big no no in my book is to clip off parts of things such as the green leaf leaving the bottom of the frame. It causes the viewers eye to follow it down all the way to the edge of the frame thus making it very distracting. I would have backed off just a bit to include the entire leaf.

Nice compositin and very pretty... Pam. is there some way for you to take the white area and make it dark or to clone in some of the out of focus green? I think that it would make your image much nicer as that spot pulls my eye toward it! other wise it is very nice.

Great, great shot. It looks like a crimson velvet. It doesn't come any better than this. Perfect.

absolutely gorgeous! I love the RED it's just the perfect shape (for my eyes). I do love the way the green looks, it just adds the perfect touch to your Rose!

That is such a beautiful rose, Pam. It more than qualifies for your red challenge.
