Lovely, but for this contest I feel it would have been better on a plain background.

beautiful!

wow....mesmerizing......

soo prettty n beautiful

Unique subject matter! GL!

Beautiful rose, but OOF, the focus is just behind it.

it is i agree...but have u tried the high resolution pic...it is slightly better.

I did, and there you could really see that the focus was on the stem, not the flower.

You don't need high res to tell it's OOF.

This is similar to...similar to..to Octopus yess..Great shot author

nice

lovely

Thank you! Much appreciated!

Very nice. Might have positioned it a little more so we could tell (more easily) that those are piano keys

Thank you Kyricom, I was just making sure that the Tie is the main focus this is why it was cut this way, I don't want to get into "the Tie is NOT the main focus thing!" this is why I croped it this way.
By the way, I took a picture with the piano being more in the background, but it didn't look that good, thank you again for your comment, much appreciated :0)

You're probably right. Thanks for the explanation

seems a bit "busy" but nice colors
