In search of texture 3 - beautiful imperfection... by marlboromaam

In search of texture 3 - beautiful imperfection...

Really best viewed large, if you will. This rose appeals to my idealistic side, but it is realistically flawed.

For your listening pleasure... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mMd6D1Gw1g
Beautifully done, M'maam! The dof is surprisingly deep considering how close you must have been - love all the "dew" drops, too! Great color!

Just a reminder that nothing is perfect, I used to hate flaws and wanted everything to be pristine, throw out the old in with the new… and then I started seeing the flaws for what they were beautiful in their own way. Love this… fav because of the flaw.

I don't see the imperfection at all. I see an incredible beautiful, I think it's a "Peace" rose, but only you can tell me that. I love the droplets on the leaves and what a close up. If you are a rose lover, I use to have rose gardens that I planted myself. I bought the first lavender rose, called "The Sterling" not sure if it's still around or not? They are hard to take care of in Fl. A Fav. for me!
