Nice, Miro--i think the white, red, and green make a great combo here. I might crop just a bit of the space on the left.

Miro - I do like the high key background and the transluscency in the Red petals. I am not sure the composition works ideally for me.

Beautiful rose Miro! The high key works well here. I would suggest lightening the shaded petals a bit though.

Lightening the rose and feathering the edges might make this look less like a cutout and more like a true high key.

Pretty strong lighting but I think it works well. I am with the others on the comp.

Hi miro

This is a tough call.

Great hi-key effect, with vibrant color and detail, but the comp. is not to your high standards

Miro:
An uncommon POV. Like the highkey look. A small crop to the left might give the bloom more attention.
