I was captivated by the vibrant yellows and delicate pinks of this rose. No wonder the rose represents love and passion.

5DII, 180 mm macro, 0.8 sec @ f/32. Cropped, but essentially no editing except for setting blacks and whites.

I love the color in this Richard. I could see a couple of different crops but none that I think are better than what you've done. I also like your dof decision very much. Gorgeous image.

A luscious looking rose as presented. Colorful and vivacious.

I see the blushing passionate rose. I too light the colour palette of the rose and you did a good job on the PP. To give a slightly contrarian view, I would have like to seen the stamens more in focus.
