I really love the sharpness in this one. I agree, the black background is an excellent choice as it brings out the colors of the rose. Kudos on the wonderful pic!

What a beautifull rose this is! The overall sharpness is amazing. I really would like to learn more about the setup and camera settings of this shot. It's perfect... Hewy.

Michele, a rose is not just a rose, especially this one! :-) A very beautiful photograph is the end result of perfect composition, perfect exposure, perfect lighting, and perfect crop. Your presentation is not to shabby either ;-) Mark J

Well done Michele.
Once again the black background really drives the other colours.

Perfect lighting and focus. You really emphasize the softness of the petals and the lovely purple color by having the dark background behind it. Lovely! Ann C
