[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
For me this has been the best looking rose of the season. It's a shame to say it's not from my yard but from proflowers.com, that's the company I usually get roses from when I send them to my beautiful girlfriend. I took this one on the kitchen counter standing alone in a vase, using a small aperature and a flash to for the dark background.

This looks like Velvet Dennis. I'm sure your girlfriend must love them. I like the dark BG and the rose looks quite dark too. Very good job!

Hi Dennis

Excellent graphism, with the dark backdrop, appearing to amplify the intensity & saturation, of the red rose. Good work!

Blossom! I love it. A very nice picture Dennis, very soft. Very good contrast between the red and the black. Very well done!
Best regards
Guy

Hi Dennis,
Another good flower one. So nice and detail--good focus. The color is rich, too. And, I like how you darkened the background a bit, really lets the rose pop from its setting. Lovely.
Take care!
Richard

No car:-))
The red and black is a good choice.
The flower is soft but also sharp, clear and has a beautiful shape, good shot, Dennis !

Hello Denis, this photo is soft and beautiful. Nice velvety petals, vivid red, and black bg.

Well done!

Take care, Yan
