Got in tight for an intimate look at this rose. Haven't been here in a good long time but this shot has some special meaning for me so I thought I'd share it with you.

5D, 100 macro, 15 s @ f/25, +0.33 exp bias, MF, crop to emphasize swirls

Wayne,

This is gorgeous. Perfect crop for my tastes and the arcs and curves are mesmerizing - great texture, color and detail as well. Reminds me of a nautilus cross section. Beautiful work.

Superb image, Wayne ! I like everything about it but I guess it is the perspective you've found which is most striking for me - the vortex-like effect produced by the petal edges.

Awesome swirl and a fabulous shot overall Wayne. The color is excellent, as is the comp. I really like the curved petal at the bottom of the frame. Excellent work!

These shots are hard to present in a way that's fresh and you have done a really nice job here. Crop and composition are great.
