A rose

Hi Doug,

I don't know how you feel about cloning in post processing (it's not 'valid' for everyone), but if this were mine, I would clone out that bright bud in lower left corner. The other two background blooms kinda form a nice triangle with the main subject, but that one in the lower left ruins the compositional balance of the image for me.

Further, if you're up for some PP, you could slightly reduce the saturation and brightness of the bloom top left also.

Nice colours.

Hope that helps, Dave

+1 to Dave's analysis...I would have said exactly the same.

Agree with Dave about cloning out the lower left bloom.

Like the color of the rose.
