Gees, I was looking at the thumbnails in "All Photos" and this just looked magical and I had to open it. Glad I did because this is just gorgeous. Some might want the tips of the petals to be in the frame though Larry, but for me and the feeling along with those wonderful colours in this, its superb .......IMO.

All the best Larry, fantastic specimen and shot :toast:

Stunning Larry. What a great BG, it makes it look like the rose is underwater. And it really brings out the pink. Excellent! :toast: :toast:

Larry: All of your rose work is exceptional but this is my favorite by far. The softness of the light and BG and the clarity of the buds are wonderful. 2+ thumbs up! >=))>

Couldn't possibly get prettier than this! Could it...? If anyone can show us a more magnificent image of a rose, it's you! This makes me woozy with rapture. This is better than getting a real one, for heaven's sake, Larry! :eek: :cool:

How could one have too much of a good thing? But the more I look at this photograph, the beauty in it is nearly overwelming. Glory be...

Congrats the EP Larry, so VERY well deserved for this one. I've taken and seen thousands of rose shots over the years, but can't think of one that stands out more than this beauty. That beauty also comes from the guy behind the camera. So congrats on "seeing" as well. Stunning work and shot mate. :toast: :toast: :toast:
