ok, this is one of the better flower photos in the challenge. nice background color. i like how you cropped the image and left just the tender part of the rose in the picture. good tones and contrast. nice job.
Its a 4. Why?
Hot spot really hurts it in my opinion, yellow cast in background is a negative (the blue is lovely). Frankly, the delicate rose has had it. It does prove delicacy, but ruins the picture.
