For me personally, yellow roses have a special spot in my heart, so I always get a sort of giddy feeling seeing them. I saw a few in your gallery along this one, and I have to say I think this one is the best. I like the angle you took it at, it captures quite a bit of detail and keeps a majority of the rose in some focus working really well.

Also, I think this angle personally gives a more 'natural' feel, since I've rarely seen roses from straight forward or straight on the side, it doesn't have that posed look to it.

There are a few suggestions I do have. The first one I noticed was the left side. You left some space at the top and bottom, but it goes into the edge of the photo on the side. I think perhaps you could've left a little space between the edge of the photo and the edge of the petal. Even if you just moved your camera back a little, it would've given a little more room.

I do like how on the right side you had the rose take up all of the space. I think by adding that empty space on the left, it'd have a little more balance to the photo.

Another thing is, and this might just be me, is parts of it seem a little over saturated, giving a bit of a fake or over-ruling color to the petals, especially near the center.

Another thing I noticed was inside the petals, it looks like there's a water drop? I like that it's there, it's natural feeling, it's not the main point of the image, which is good, but it's there, which is nice also, since it looks again, like it's normal environment.

I understand putting the watermark, and honestly, I like the way the white pops from the yellow without being extremely noticeable or gaudy. I think maybe if you could move it down just a tad so it was in the all yellow, not in the shadow of the other petal on the top of the 'k', it'd seem a bit better place. Though I'll be honest, that's not too important.

Other than those few things, it looks very nice. This is definitely my favorite of the yellow roses in your gallery. Nice job e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)"/>
