I love the colors of this shot, but I'm a huge Denver Broncos fan so maybe I'm biased. I would really like this photograph even if I was a Raider fan, so an 8. Well done.
The blue in this (on this monitor) is gorgeous, sets the rose off perfectly. Maybe I'm crazy but it doesn't feel cold to me, the white looks more like mold. Vampire rose, maybe. "D
Took a minute to figure it out...the title was helpful. I like the isolation of red over the blue. Looks like some extra sharpening was applied to the rose bud to a degree perhaps not needed? Just some observations. Good luck in the challenge.
Not voting, but wanted to leave a comment...
This is very unique and uses complementary colors very well. Beautiful photo with mystery and emotion. Would make an awesome fiction novel cover!
