Opening Soon..

Shot this rose in late spring at my favorite rose garden in NJ. Photographed in natural light.
Nikon D300 200mm macro, F32, 1/125, -2/3 comp,200 ISO,tripod mtd,small amount of Topaz simplify...

I like how it seems to lose color outside of the center, yet a faint bit still shows. Lovely image Dave. Really warm feel to it. :)

Dave, The color tones are fantastic. A faint hint of Topaz goes well with the rose. Nicely done.

Beautiful Dave, such a beautiful rose, I thought it has been hand tinted.

Beautiful image, Dave. Love the colors, almost looks like the center of the rose is glowing!

Dave, I agree with Christopher - it glows:D Gorgeous image.
