The rose is captured perfectly with pleasing color tones.The background, however, needed more light...for this light on white challenge. The shadows are very gray looking and grainy.
Very pretty. Love the detail of the rose. The background variation is a tad distracting, with all of the layers of the petals already having a busy sense to them. Maybe zoom in further and just have a hint of the background, in order to meet the challenge. OR put the rose way off center, with lots of negative space to one side. I'd actually love to see it cropped, with no background at all, but that's another challenge altogether. LOL
