Excellent, Michael. The rose shots like this are always done with women. It's even more effective wth a man b/c it's unique. The 5:00 keeps it very masculine; clean shaven would lean to the gay side "not that there's anything wrong with that". ;) Well done! ~ Lonnit

I understand the reason for the title to this great image, but every time I see this picture I think of Seal's song "A Kiss From A Rose"! I like how the sepal almost embraces your chin and the petal caresses your lip. I agree, it would be perfect for a "senses" challenge! Lovely image. CJ

Incredibly sharp detail - and an interesting combination of textures and colours. Nicely done, Michael! ~jnconradie

Beautiful image Michael. Very crisp. And I love the contrast between the pedals and the shadow.

I like the petal shadow detail on his chin. I'd like to hear the story that goes with the image, Michael. Maybe he's kissing the rose just before he gives it to his lady love or perhaps he's just sniffing its wonderful fragrance. Stunning image! shu

I should have known that this was your's Michael...Smart, intelligent, perfectly executed, vibrant colors, interesting and eye catching. I'd love to give this some criticism...but I ain't got any. Best Wishes, Traveller
