Quite nice. The lighting is the strongest point in this photo. It brings out the textures and nuances of the colors in the petals.

a nice vignette to isolate the flowers from their less than attractive background (chain link fence)
youve made such good use of these pretty elements
great little details in the obliquely lit drops of water

very pretty yet somehow melancholic and sad

Mimi, this is just lovely! The clarity on the roses along with the lighting and the water droplets is wonderful and the darkened background is superb! Did you darken the background in the computer or was this handled in the camera? Thanks, this is so nice!

Mimi, you know I couldn't possibly say anything more than what all your friends here on Caedes have said before me. I love it, of course, and for all the reasons stated above as to clarity and especially color, and the composition, but I did want to add that although the chain fence in the back has been addressed, I'd like to say that in a strange way it adds to the presentation. It's a very interesting study in contrasts to the light placement and delicate flavor the flowers bring with the marvelous lighting you've used, and I can't guess how you did all this :) and I know I've been on the bandwagon lately with contrasts, but if I had to pick one that shows exactly what i've been thinking about it would have to be this. That chain and the darkness of it, and, yes, the very fact that you left it in to be seen, as I'm sure you could have tweaked your camera in a way that would have minimized it even more, creates a tension between your subjects that enhances the ambience they embue...lovely Mimi, :)PJ

Hi Mimi, the beauty of these remarkable specimens is very difficult for me to describe in the usual way that I do, for a variety of reasons! Each rose in it's delicate soft pink is opening, spreading out from it's own furled state! Each is unfurlling in it's own timing, and so granting us the various phases of growh sequentially, to view and to enjoy, just beautiful!!!! The lighting is masterfully done! You have become an expert at light reading, one of the most important ingredients of good photography! Into my favorites! Good job, Sincerely, Marilyn

What a lovely delicate and captivating image. Simply a marvelous gift. Apparently everyone has commented on the lighting which is superb. The only disappointment I see is the C-Index number ... it's worthy of a much higher number. I'm sorry I never saw this in the voting booth ... 10 would have seemed the perfect score for such a perfect gift as this.

Had to muscle my way in past the crowds for this exhibit. :o)

The 'mood' and 'feel' are the ... first and foremost ... emotive elements that impact me upon viewing this visual offering of yours.

Such a kind and thoughtful gift to the membership ... I think I am heartened to know that our beloved site is a refuge of sorts to many of us. And this is a very poignant reminder for me, personally, of that soft spot in which I have chosen to 'fall.'

It really is a lovely image. The lighting, as noted in some of the above comments, does indeed set the stage for the star model in your image here. It is a perfect blend of muted and seemingly natural light to showcase the subtle hues and tones of the colour of this gorgeous rose.

I can only add ... thank you. :o)

Hi Mimi. I ran across this image in someone else’s' favorites gallery and just had to take a closer look. I really am glad I did. This one goes into my Favorites and onto my work computer for the rest of this week.
