Judges' comments:
Whites handled very well; good detail and lighting; like the angle; in focus; white print border draws attention to a slight color cast in the rose
Maker's notes:

This image was shot in my home studio.  Lighting set up is provided in Entry "Twirling Rose" in the Creative category for Feb. 2021.  Lens was an 18-135mm zoom set to 62mm. Camera settings were Manual Mode, f/11, 1/60th sec., ISO 200.  Auto White balance and Auto Focus.  Black and White processing was done in Photoshop CC.  I had a great deal of difficulty getting what I saw on the screen printed.  After many tries I settled for this.
