There is no need to compete with anybody Mimi..this will stand up to any 'flower' images on here!...it is outstandingly beautiful...you have taken time to snap this when the sun is making the petals glow!, The warming tones are very effective, and the slight 'out-of-focus' in the background adds to this Crackin Image.....Bob

Well composed Mimi.you have found a perfect flower to bring to our screens!!
Peace&Respect Jojo

This has gone straight into my favourites - such a perfectly beautiful pink which you have captured so well. Thank you for a lovely rose :)

To my dear dear friend Mimi, please never ever think along the lines of competitiveness with that new camera in hand! Every artist must deliver to his/her fans their own individual uniqueness, talents, skills, and abilities! The goal of every artist should be to strive for what they see, their own perspective, what they perceive to be beautiful, appealing and pleasing to the eye! Don't you think Mimi? I don't think that to be better than another should be our design, but to display our own individuality for other's enjoyment!!! This my dear, you have done!! This is an absolutely beautiful example of what I have said! This is Mimi's view, her lovely rose and lovely it is indeed! Each little petal bends and sways in it's own special way, each adding it's part to the personality of the rose, making it different than all the others! Class is over!! LOL! Please forgive me for my expounding, as these are just my own thoughts!! Besides, of course the color and your photography, your expertise, I especially love the rose being surrounded with such healthy beautiful greens, which adds great contrast, interest and appeal! This deserves a special place in my 'house of favorites', where it will surely give the other residents 'competition'! Smiling happily! Nice work Mimi!! Sincerely, Marilyn

Well...this is simply elegant and beautiful!!! And since pink is my favorite color, I truly love this capture!!

as far as the water is concerned....take a spray bottle with you. i think this beautiful rose is as good as any i've seen. it is not second to anyones!!!! jen

Excellent Mimi! This image is so crisp and clear, and the color of the rose is soooooo pure. High marks and very, very well done!

A beautiful shot of this lovely pink rose. A very clear & sharp image....nicely done. I love it.

Oh dear, I think your choice of words may have given some the wrong idea but I understand what you mean, Mimi...Marilyn's marvellous floral creations sometimes may have some of us wondering if we should enter that arena, but never fear, there is always room and appreciation for another view and I think you have done a great job on this...not every flower image must have water drops...it is really lovely as is...the lighting and soft delicate shade really make this pretty...good work, my friend.:Pat.

Excellent nature composition, very well done.

Marvellous Rose, plenty of light.
Well done Mimi !

Oh Mimi, This is so stunning. You have captured the true beauty and elegance of this majestic flower that everyone has a love affair with. Straight into my favorites this goes.

~A white sports coat, and a pink carnation~ ~uhh, pink rose~

Started sing that as soon as I saw this. Miraculous shot Mimi!!

Thank you all for the warm and glowing words on this capture. Your support comments and critique mean so very much to me and I am as always, grateful. Mimi

beautiful rose mimi! i love the soft color of it. your photo has great composition. that rose appears to jump right off the page. amazing capture! carol

Mimi - Only a Domestic Goddess could have naturally captured the color and beauty of natures work. A grungy old coot like me understands that being able to capture beauty in its enviorment, is always a sought skill. You have definately found that skill with this picture Mimi. I hope you realise, this is very well done. Now go back outside, and do more please :)

Such a delicate pink perfectly captured! And the clarity of the shot so great I swear I got a drift of that sweet aroma. Beautiful shot, Mimi.

WHEEE!!

Lovely! I especially like the contrast of such a pretty light pink against the darker leaves...great shot! :)

Hi Mimi, how are you doing?
This is the most beautiful rose.
Right onto my desktop.
Hugs,

Excuisite capture Mimi. Where did you find this beautie? The colour of it is so gentle and delicate. Pin sharp photo - I can almost smell the fresh petals... of the elegant rose in full glory. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for this rose - it's made for desktops. Such a beautiful pale soft pink. One of my favorite colors. It's such a clear image and is lovely on the greenery. Definitely 10s!
