Possibly a bit too close a crop for this shot. 4 stars though, the photo still seem to work.

Thanks for your opinion. This has not been cropped - I was trying to capture the detail of the petals in the centre, but perhaps a wider angle would have been better .

I think Dave was referring to an in-camera-crop, Hayley.  Nice one though.

I gotcha. Thanks though, glad you like it.

Nice one Hayley!!

Thanks again TT, not as good as your recent white rose though.

Nice deatil of the rose =)

I would have cropped a bit closer to cut off the distractions at the top and bottom. Love the soft focus and tones you have done. Outstanding shot and a pleasure to view.
