Roses in a Rose

I hope you can spot more Roses

. One of my favourites from this year. Bit of a struggle to parallel the camera to get the petal edges and the refractions (Thanks Bill for the right word) in the same plane of focus.

When enlarged into a big print those refractions should really be seen big.

Nikon D200, 200mm F/4 Micronikkor, F/16 1/40 Sec, ISO200, Diffusor and Tripod.

As always your thoughts are well appreciated.

Outstanding. One of the very best rose close-ups I've ever seen.

AWESOME !!

That is too cool how you can see the rose reflected in the 3 water drops near the center. How did you do that?!

Each rose image you've posted has a unique quality, and this one stands out as another "winner." Excellent!

Ram, I think of one word that describes this image....STUNNING! I like this even more than some of your previous rose shots. Great work!

An exceptionally fine image Ram. The droplets are spot on. Excellent color and contrasts.

A beautiful jewel Ram that a stylist should copy. Fashinating softness and harmony of the colors. Bravo!
Take care.

Congrats on the EP Ram, this is a wonderful shot. I've been out of town lately, but saw a few of your earlier rose posts and knew you were in the zone. This one is just great.

Ram, i can see small roses on the little pair of glasses of the big rose. Two big drops in center of the rose looks like a little glasses and on each of them you can see a rose. Perfect shot and perfect framing.
