Well, stunning and beautiful are already taken. I think awesome or impressive come to mind or awesomely impressive. Terrific color, DOF and composition. Thanks for sharing.

What a treat :) I love the way you've handled the background canvass of this post. It has just the right amount of texture to set off this wonderfully detailed and excellently captured rose. Sometimes with a complete blur in the background there isn't enough of a support behind a subject as bold, yet delicate as this one. And since I'm on the subject of compostion, I think the angle in which you've presented this rose is pleasing as well, just off center, but more so than that is the fact that we can see the full green stem with its leaves as the support for this natural presentation. I'm not saying that this would work every time, and sometimes a flower floating alone, seeming to pop out of nowhere is a good treatment too, but not so here, IMHO. The clarity of the rose and the color demand that we see from whence it sprang and what is holding it fast to the picture. It's a sort of natural nest, if you will. Now, the rose itself is caught at what I would consider its ultimate best....not too blown, and not too tight. I love how every petal is unique and stands alone but in harmony with its neighbors as they nod off to the right and gently twirl in on themselves until they at last create that beautifully bulbous center that opens at its very tip and invites us.. reminds us to smell the roses, and feel the delicate cool droplets of moisture on its countenance. In my favs, and in my mind forever. thanks :)PJ

The colour, the drops, but very certainly the rose himself, everything are splendid.
