"... how beautifull you are." : those words have been written for your picture ! no ? ... Really nice !

lovely setting

Thank you, Artifakts... but no, those words were written for my wife. I just got it out of the drawer for the picture.

Nice angle and the tones are beautiful, good luck!

Beautiful composition!

Congratulations for your 1st place ! You deserve it !

beautiful picture!

I interpret the shot as deliberate as to the writing............I see it as a fading flower, for a fading love.............in which case the writing is perfectly portrayed.

Yes, you are right Ade, thanks !

a great image and I agree with the same interpretation adeincyprus had. Well done you should do well.

I love the lighting, well done!

its great that the rose is dry it's subtly telling a story great job

Congrats on your placement

this is amazing... I'm late with my comment, but I just love it!

Beautiful "love"--I like seeing the mark indenting the paper. I know that's a candle, but wish its shape added to the composition.

Nice angle and warm colors.

bravo author.......sometimes simple is best!

Nice shot ! The candle light gives a terrific atmosphere ! (I prefer this one in B/W than the other)
