Two for you

Nice and Sharp. Good work

Madeleine, this most certainly seems better with the black b/g. in this style of image think it works better if both roses are in full focus. it's close, but top could be a wee bit sharper. really like your simple presentation. nicely done.

I like the sense of movement created in this image. Good composition.

Sheila, i may be a "sandwich short of a picnic here" but am looking at this image every way possible, last option will probably be to view standing on my head. i just can not see any movement here. to me its as "still life" as a cat sleeping on a cushion. i must say i love how different people read different images. is one of the most interesting parts of being a member of p/n. "a place where it's never to late to have a happy childhood" .............

Hi Madeleine.

Rogers last comment really made me laugh - trying to imagine Roger viewing your image upside down while balancing on his head, but I think my imagination doesnt quite stretch that far!  Really like your image and the black background works really well. Nice composition and light. Regards. Sarah.

The detail and focus is awesome! I think I would have tilted the camera about 10 or 15 degrees to give a more dynamic feel.
