Could say 'ethereal' as well. Just one heck of a gorgeous rose. Well snapped too. A wonderful macro.

Wow wee, beautyful lol.
Lyn...I want your secret to doing the frame inside of the edges of the flower! One thing I haven't tried yet and I just love the effect of the flower leaning over the edge of that elegant yet simple framing!

Is this ever a keeper. When I uploaded this, the detail in the center just knocked me out. Gorgeous. Whoa......I just saw the current c-scrore of 67. No way. People are blind. Hope I see this in the VB.
