One of my favorite roses, taken at Chicago Botanic Garden. Stack of 5 images. Can you tell that I sprayed on the water?

Dan: We have a very similar variety in our back yard and it is one of my favorites as well. Beautiful color and the drops are icing on the cake. Nicely done.>=))>

The Peace rose can be very pretty, both when it is young like this and as it grows to a softer, subdued color. Your stacking looks good. The 105mm is perfect for this kind of work. I miss mine. Good post processing, with a brightened subject and a darkened BG.
Darkening the hot spots on the leaf at the bottom would be a good move.

So beautiful, Dan, especially with the water drops. The colors of the rose against the dark green of the background are just beautiful. I do agree with Phil's suggestion.

The colors are splendid and the BG is excellent. At this high level of lights and with many water drops I think it was an hard work in edit but the result is splendid.
