The colour contrasts and the shape of the rose make this very fractal like (thus abstract). Nice touch of dreamy like haze - very appropriate. As the title suggest, youve really coveyed an image of purity and clarity.
Good stuff

So perfect for today....nothing is as pure as a rose or true love. How romantic.

This has a lovely softness to it and the flower contrasts well with it`s background. The way you captured the light and shaddow on the flower is fantastic.

Wow Cindy, outstanding, fragile and delicate on a perfect background.

Very nice...I lik how you set this one off from the center..nice job.

Lovely rose.. What a perfect desktop..

How nice that you didn't use the cliched red rose. This is so much better. Simpler, cleaner, it conveys innocence & beauty. Really, a striking & gorgeous image. One for the desktop !

So perfect. This has the softness needed here to create a beautiful piece. Love the way you were able to capture the rose with the petal slightly open, just enough. I love this. Would this be a little something from your love this Valentines Day?? Sure is pretty. High marks sis!!

cinny this is so soft and beautiful. You really captured it perfectly. And a great day to post it as well.. cheers

What a purrrfect shot for today!! Soft 'n' tender Cindy!!

An elegant flower for sure...soft and sweet scented I imagine, it appears so rich. Its a most lovely photo..

Dreamy! This image is so soft and sweet. Excellent work!

Simply beautiful...a wonderful Valentines enrichment for my desktop. Thanks:-)

Hi there. This image looks so dreamy and one of the best soft focused roses I have seeing. The title completly match the photo and thanks for posting it.

Hello Cindy, I voted on this photo earlier in the photo booth. Just found out it was one of yours! The overall softness of the focus is wonderful but what really sets it off to me is the perfect combination of exposure and lighting. Beautiful!

Another great momment...congratulations.

So lovely I can almost smell it. Great job on this as always.

So many flower pictures on Caedes nowadays.. nice soft picture. I guess I'm ready for more beach pictures.

Oh so beautiful Cindy. Nice one.

Beautiful soft dreamy rose, Cindy, and a lovely title going with it...wonderful work.:Pat.

Oh Cindy, this is magnificent, softly sophisticated and presented to us on a black background, with lovely soft music in the air!!! The rose is wht. with a touch of pink, and a touch of class, and oh so wonderfully delicate! Very nicely done Cindy, you should be proud! You have entered my domain, of course I am only kidding! This is special! Sincerely, Marilyn

Like a dream!
