Krunal, There is place for plenty more :biggrin: . Looks lovely and I am a sucker for those swirls in the rose. A small thing though is the slightly OOF petal edge in the front - F/16 or a blend for focus would have fixed that. Looks lovely as is also - with red being dominant the OOF petal might not strike anyone.

I like the comp Krunal. I don't get tired of good compositions. (smile) I like Rams advice on this and the only thing I'd add is maybe cropping all around just slightly. It would reduce the blurred petal a touch and would also cut the petal at the top rather than it seeming cramped as it does to me now.

Beautiful rose! I like this type of composition as well. Although I agree with Ram in regards to the OOF petal, the detail is splendid. :smile:

Yes, both the subject and the comp have been done a zillion times, but they're classics for good reason. The subject of this photo is flawless. Very pretty image.

a bit more classical than your last rosescape. Lovely color, texture, and curves.

I like the rich red color and the swirls, and I do agree about the front oof petals. Still a beautiful image.
