Exceptional velvety colour.

[Jorlam]

@northy
awesome, magnificent - choose any number of superlatives and apply to this image.. do not know why you shy away from flowers as this is gorgeous.. beautiful textures in the petals and the lighting is delicious..

[Sheila]

I do hope you will be doing more..... this is superb!

[Tami Skipper]

Lovely shot of the rose still with an edgy, dark feel to it. FAV!

[Suse♡]

Velvety rose, excellent

[☠northy]

@tigerdreamer tx Karen... realistically i don't think i can take much credit for the light... it was window light... but then i mucked about in LR and when that wasn't giving me what i wanted i added a bunch of filters in colour FX...

@ltodd... no... just... NO!

@jorlam tx Jorlam... i shy away mostly because i don't find them particularly compelling as photo subjects... i know lots of others love flower photography - and more power to them - but for the most part, i just don't see it ;p

[David]

Missed this one... it is so disgustingly gorgeous that I'll have to fav it! Hope you will get over it and soon feel better! Maybe you already have/are.

[Montez Sattman]

This is very beautiful, the lighting, the textures, the richness of the color!
