On Reflection, above, is from a very old photo, just edited yesterday. I have a version that's of the entire rose but it looks somewhat like one you'd find in a flower and seed catalog. I like this close-up much better, once I warmed up the colors a bit, and increased the contrast between the background and the petals.

NOTE: In most browsers you can click on a photo to view a larger version. There are many more photos posted here than show at any given time in this left-hand column. See the Archives listing (below Previous Posts) in the right hand column. And here’s the link if you wish to read an Introduction, Background, & Technical Aspects post about this blog.
