A Rose of Cloth

Love the silence!

Nice fringing detail on the rose. Lovely colour as well

Lovely image.. I really like the colours and the composition… Nice work..

Ohhhh, this is fabulous Mark – love the power behind this. I get a lot of comfort looking at this work – like seeing a life spirit amidst a baron desert. An oasis of hope and love. Jeez you’re good – I dont even believe in any of that stuff, but I see it here. Excellent!

Nice shot – I like the emotion that the contrast of the pink against the neutrals evokes

Very beautiful, powerful and thought provoking image Mark.

Nice. I like the tone on this one.

Beautiful image. So thought provoking and profound!

I love the colouring on this Mark! Well done!

wow! Incredible!

*A beautifully composed image… * I’ll give you that! ... but it feels like I’m in a cemetary—no?

This one fills me with such differing emotions…something about the tones, the perspective…hmm…there’s such a story here. I love it.

Looks peaceful and beautiful. Thankyou for the solitude

Great picture Mark and perfect words to along with it.

such a strong image… evokes a feeling of loneliness to me… but with a proud and defiant dignity

Very nice..

Love how the rose stands out; and the meaning behind this piece; well done.

Beautifull image. Nice colour. Makes you think.

Most people see a rose of cloth and think, “Oh, that’s cheap, they couldn’t even bring real flowers.” But you make it sound so much lovelier than that with your poem, and the accompanying picture is just terrific in its colors and DOF. Even a rose of cloth can be a symbol of love . . .
