Oh Harry, this is a beautiful capture, lovely color and very zoom worthy.
another of your classic single-flower shots, this one awash in luscious peach-reds & pinks. I've always found head-on shots hard---of architecture, flowers, faces, anything. (In drawing & painting too.) It stands the chance of being too stark. In fact, symmetry poses similar problems, for the same reasons...But after doing flower-photography so long, you have no problems with it at all. This is a head-on rose, slightly angled to our right, but mostly head on; and you have just the right combo of vivid hue & shadow, opulent texture & white highlights (ie, the edges) to make it a deep shot. The Sanskrit word "rishi"---ie, seer or wise soul---is cognate with our work "rose," implying that at some distant point, linguistically, roses were so-named for their appearance of wisdom. It's obvious with a shot like this: If wisdom is a form of richness, the term is wholly apt. Beautiful work, and it fills the frame perfectly.
