This is a KEEPER Albert, I bet this would look really nice as a larger format and framed.

Gorgeous pastel colors and a wonderful comp. I wonder what a tad bit more contrast or a slight curves adjustment would do?

As fine a rose image as I've seen Albert and given the rose images on this gallery that's quite an achievement. Exceptional work.

A beautiful photo of a beautiful rose, Albert. A color that can't be described with words.
Cheers.
