From the comments Ian, you're are great man to rise above the prejudice! It's a different pose and treatment that works very well.

Ian, Lovely frame for the white rose. The creamy tones throughout makes this frame interesting for me along with the processing :cool:

I love the delicate textures of the rose and the peripheral "blur"..

Great job of holding the details in white on white. I also like how the rose arches into the frame.
