This closeup of a tuberous begonia flower mimics the features of an old fashioned rose. Graceful lines and delicate creamy color. Taken with Canon 7D, using 500D magnifying filter.

Comments welcomed.

Patricia: When I looked at the thumbnail I thought your either mis-posted or mis-titled. Beautiful high key presentation. Bravo! >=))>

Patricia - Beautiful Swirls..and Swirls and Swirls :cool: . Great handling on the whites and the light and the dull shadows create great depth. Beautiful frame.

Bold and wonderful. Nice lighting and good depth to the image with the shadow.

I thought at first this was a rose! You handled the whites so beautifully & I love the way the light is hitting it!

Hy Patricia. I like the diagonal direction of the light and shapes. I love the snowy softness of the flower.
Cheers.
