A single rose petal on a white plastic container cover, taking in the backyard. Custom white and then brightened... Not sure if the soft-touch will work with this crowd.

Lighting looks good and I can't tell if the focus is purposefully soft or not but I like the effect. I think there is zen to be found in this image and how the subject works in relation to all the negative space. I'm not sure I like the stark white background though, it feels a little clinical to me, but I have no suggestions for a different color. I also think a slight shift in the lighting would give the petal a little more depth and that might help improve the image too - as it is now its starting to almost have a 2D feel too it, though there are hints of shadow and bumps on the petal. I gave a 5
Man for a valentines challenge this would ribbon! I am not feeling the Zen in it, (the color I think might be the cause) but it is a good photo and I give it a 7.
