...Yes. So...apologies if any of you liked the original better...the image quality was very, very poor (thus the reason I couldn't offer a larger image originally) and I wanted to reshoot with better lighting and a macro lens.

I got rid of the very simple, muted background, but I think I'm gonna bring it back when I eventually redo it (yes, again). I won't give up til I get it *perfect* - thanks so much to all those who've commented and +fav'ed. And, let me know which version you prefer if you are so inclined.

This is proof of big things come in small packages. The composition dainty and easily built via the color contrast. It holds a sense of closeness without choking. Very excellent!

This is probably the sweetest valentines picture I've seen.

It's simple, its not all lovey dovey, but it speaks volumes to the soul.

Wow, only 6 comments posted before today, and 2 of the 60 favorites before today! That is wonderful. Seems your piece is finally getting the admiration it desires.

It is genuinely lovely, wonderful concept, beautifully executed. I like how you didn't pick two perfect roses -- the white rose has two holes in the petals -- and how they are, in my opinion, in the perfect stage of their bloom... seems to picture two lovers who have shared the good times and the bad and have grown to be better than they could on their own.

Truly lovely, and instead of roses on Valentine's day, this print would be wonderful. Sadly, I do not have a white rose for my red...

What a fun idea! The contrast of the single petals are a bite jarring at first (for maybe a brief brief moment of time), but then you realize how nicely done it is... The element of surprise in the beginning makes it that much better.

Wish you had a bigger version of this..

I really like how this shows the way that when you're in love, you become a part of your lover and they become a part of you. Absolutely beautiful, both visually and sentimentally...! How could I not? It's so touching

I like how this sort of in my opinnion don't kill me represents the sacrifices both have to make in a relationship and also how you give a part of yourself to the other who in return gives a part of him/herself back to you.

Very good.
