The Rose

Every now and then an exceptional specimen begs to be captured.

Although taken with a macro, this flower is about 5 inches across.

Dominick, what an extraordinary looking rose, have never seen anything like it before. the petals also are very different, do you know where it comes from. looks like it would be magic with a black b/g for contrast. most interesting image, well seen and presented!

Thank you Roger.  I was occupied by some nearby protea when Trish grabbed me and said, "you have to see this!".   It was within a flower arrangement, and among many others, with no owner around.  Like you, I've not seen another like this.  i was grown here so I will eventually find it and let you know.  Thanks for your input.  Black!  OK, let's see!

Really beautiful work with impressive lighting and colours, Dominick!

This vivid color makes it so pleasantly,compliments.
