The layers of petals of this yellow rose seem to indicate the depths of a true friendship. Happy friendship day to you all!

Beautiful Ramesh The image fits the wonderful thought and happy friendship to you !!!!!

Might desaturate the yellow just a little bit and could consider angling the image Either way it Sweet !!! Big Congrats !!!

Ramesh, it's a lovely image but I agree with Al that the yellows could be pulled back just a tiny bit. I also did a 90 degree CCW rotation and a little tighter crop to see if I preferred that orientation over the original...but it's your call.

A beautiful shot. I really like the composition and the DOF chosen. Fantastic light.

Thanks Alfred, Julie, Markus and Rene. Alfred, i guess i went a little over-board on yellows;-( Will try holding it back a bit. Julie, somehow the vertical orientation didn't work for me though the tighter crops do. Thanks again for the suggestions.
