This is a really fantastic shot, yet it feels like the whole image itself is the subject. Maybe I just have a different interpretation of what "Without Subject" means.
quality floral macro
the rose itself seems to be a "subject" doesn't it? a rose has always (in literature, sacred writ, poetry and daily life) been a subject/symbol of love
I like the lighting
stunning image...not sure how the voters will go with this in this challenge as there's a definite subject there > a rose...the difference between this and other 'subjects' shots are that the others don't have an obvious central subject...here, the central subject IS the subject...I am waffling on here now...
Yet another beautiful subject!!! But this is the 'Image WITHOUT Subject' challenge. Seriously, I love this shot. I would liked to have seen this in the 'August Free Study'. The various shades of red and the shadows of black are perfect. Just sharp enough and soft enough at the same time. I really, really like it. 5 in this challenge.
