The Rose

Not much to say about this except I was playing again tonight with my photo light tent. A simple manmade rose, some editing to remove most of the color, adding some contrast and a vignette, and I liked the finished piece. To all my friends here on 365, a rose from me to you, just for being a great bunch of people.

Why thank you!! :) I got some of these for Valentine's Day at work. Great job of processing. Since you said you had gotten a light box a while ago, I've been wanting one, too. I'm always scrambling for space, background, colors, etc. when taking indoor pictures. Aren't we getting so professional? :)
