Description
This is another shot from my trip to Wight's Nursery last May. I love the way the back of the petals is a different color from the front. Since I didn't take notes while I was there, I don't have any information for you about this rose. Maybe this year I'll remember to take pictures of the tags, too! Some of the things I've learned about photography over the past year have nothing to do with the camera.
I'm still working on reds, speaking of learning things about photography. I'm not excited about the way this turned out, but I'm at least moderately happy. Some parts have nice detail and some don't, but if I waited to post only perfect shots, my gallery would be sparse, indeed!

Beautiful shot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks pretty darn perfect to me and viewing this makes me more than moderately happy dear T S ~ Hugs ~
Great shot!! Can't see anything wrong with it!
Perfection is highly overrated and you're right, there wouldn't be a single foto anywhere if we all waited for that one, perfect, sublime shot!! This is beautiful, and red, well it's red and my favorite color, so of course, I love it!!
it, like the photo, is gorgeous!
A great shot of a special and beautiful flower! Have a very nice evening Henk
I think it looks great. The reds are very nicely saturated. At f/4 you're not going to get much DOF; what you have looks right to me. I like it. So there.
Well I am full of admiration for your photography ... the rose with contrasting reverse side petals is gorgeous. I can't comment technically - I'm woefully ignorant - but the result is lovely. Mike
lovely shot. the red is fantastic
Welll.. maybe you should have sprayed the white rose on both sides instead of only the upper side ?..... ;) Just kidding. So very lovely and Amazing colors too. :)))

Beautiful flower...
A stunning macro, Tara, considering the unending battle with the color red most of us have to endure. Terrific clarity and lighting on the petals. It looks all the world like a Rosie O'Donnell rose, some photos of which I have currently lingering in my vast database. Imagine anyone naming a beautiful flower after that creature? Blasphemy.
lovely shot
