Precious petals!! Perhaps the backdrop is a wee too close as it's not able to create a lot of nice blur. Find the subject with some distance to a nice backdrop and get half-way between the two and you should get some nice blur to your backdrop to make the flora really shine. Luv the colorations ya nabbed here!!
It's a lovely rose with good colour and clarity but if I were being picky I would have to agree with Randy and say that it would be better with a blurry background. Also I think it's a tad overexposed.
Always remember - Follow the Yellow Brick Road, it will lead you to OZ and the Emerald City. A very nice place to live. Trust me on this one, I live there. The Lion **** MY CAEDES GALLERY****Another Site I'm AT - MY DA HOME PAGE
