2 - Red (Thumbnail challenge)

Raindrops on rosie! Gosh you know, it really hurt cropping this lovely rose into a little red square, but I'm pleased I did. I loved the original shape and shades but the cropping has given it a different feel entirely.

Chuffed to bits with your views and comments on my sunbeam/star shot, thank you one and all for being so kind to take the time :) Now to find something orange....
Glorious!

Perfect capture of the rose's core beauty. The textures are so vivid and the addition of the waterdrops only enhances its beauty. Well done!

I don't think it hurts to fill a shot with all the action so to speak. This is a perfect example of focusing in on all those great details xx

Ooooh!!! Lovely..... You should have titled it Raindrops On Roses (a line from the song from Sound of Music!!)... But Red works, too. Not sure what the thumbnail challenge is, but this is a fantastic closeup. The drops are so clear. The focus is excellent. The color is vibrant. Absolutely love it! Wonderful job, Phil!
