I'm enjoying it.

There's a lot to enjoy here. Like the color, crisp detail, and dewdrops.

Phil - Might be one of your best Roses yet

. Awesome micro details in the petals and dew.

Since you don't really mind some post repair work, I'd suggest cropping a smidgen off the bottom to remove the smudge marks and also the petal bit below left most-bottom petal. Makes it text book perfect that way.

I agree with Ram, Phil. One of your best rose images. Beautiful. You might consider burning the light green area in the ULC a bit so it doesn't compete for attention with the rose.

I agree with Ram. The small changes in the repost push this over the top.

Phil, this is so vibrant that it hurts my eyes LOL. The focus stack is really neat, but I like a little transition from focus to out of focus within the flower itself.

Phil: I was out of town when you posted this but I absolutely agree with Ram and Gary picking your image. Your rose images always impress but this one is just a cut above. The original was really good and the refinement of the repost is top notch. 2+ thumbs up! >=))>
