Valentin'e gone but this rose remains....that's the power of art.
I do like this photo but maybe the cut of the rose is not perfect...see you

Yes the cut of the rose is extremely frustrating, but as I was holding it in my hand I was having trouble paying attention to everything ...

Thank you for the comment !

Well I don't really know, the color mostly, and also that the edge of the rose is stupidly cut of...

What a great shot and concept!
I like how you blurred the background and angled the rose--makes it a much more effective photo.
Well done, my dear.

Great detail and vibrant color on the rose. Interesting choice on the background blur of your sisters figure. Makes a very interesting composition. Well done!

I'm really late in answering this, but I think I understood more or less what you meant

I played with the feminine, glamourous silhouette to give the rose more meaning, gla dyou liked that !

Um... Three months later, but thank you very much, I'm glad you like this. It was about at that time that I realized I really wanted a new lens that could open up to f/1.8, playing with DOF is brilliant !

Extremely late response, but thank you very much for your comment At first, to include the rose in the photo, she was holding it, but that seemes so unoriginal

It's interesting... To me, it portrays both sides of Valentine's Day: the view from the singles and the view from the couples.
As a single person, I kinda see it as a rose, beautiful, unreachable by the person truly waiting for it. :b

But a person with a significant other might see it as a nice picture with a beautiful rose and a beautiful woman in the background.

(By the way, I read your description as "The model is my wonderful sister, *see kitty* KITTY!"
ha ha)

That's an interesting way to view it....
I like that interpretation...

Hey I love that interpretation !
The funny thing is, I had more or less the same interpretation (seeing Valentine's day from 2 points of view at the same time) but not for the same reason I saw the blurred silhouette as that of the longing for someone to be there but you don't know who precisely, so that would be from a single's point of view. And I see the rose as if someone was holding it out and going to offer it to the person in the background. So to me it's the other way around !!

( maybe my sister should change her avatar then )
