Very colorful, but too softly focused for my taste. Also the brown spots on the red rose detract from the beauty overall.

A bit grainy. Edges seem harsh. Too much post processing.

With such an obvious subject, you put yourself in a position of having to produce an absolutely exceptional photograph to score well, I would think. The immediate problems are a lack of detail - that fine edge of a sense of texture, caused by what looks like poor compression artefacts. I like the idea of softening the image beyond the red rose, but that only draws attention to the detail thing there. The composition is good - nice to fill the frame, and the colour range is effective; but I fear this just isn't going to stand out in the mix.

Love the colors, not sure about the plastic look .. they do not look natural. Well done and good luck
