Does this rose pic look better .....?
the first one to me





call me old fashioned but i like sharp images with little "editing" proformed...........something like a rose i want to look so real that i want to sniff the paper its printed on.......i dont want it to look like a cartoon...........just my own preference......keep working on it you are heading somewhere

Reply:I think I like the third one the best. It shows shade and texture with almost no color at all.
Reply:Wow, those are amazing. I guess if I have to pick one I like the first the best.
Reply:I really like the first one, great job! :]
Reply:Personally I would choose the first one, shows more of the flower. I love the picture, very elegant.
Reply:Wow these are beautiful!





I think I like the 1st best...or the 3rd.
Reply:Very nice. However, I'd love to see the original.
