Hi Max, this image is positively awesome in it's quality, colors, and clarity! I of course, love roses, but this has truly topped anything I can or have produced!! I do agree that the flower does definitely make me think of a most exquisite piece of china! Max, do you grow roses and if so, my hat is off to you big time! I offer to you my big 10's with pleasure! Sincerely, Marilyn

Thanks for the feedback! I was going for a walk and someone had an entire front lawn of flowers! I spent about 15 minutes taking pictures of them all and liked this one the most.

Wow, what an amazing shot - beautiful flower, fantastic colors. And it really does look like a teacup and saucer! Great job!

This sure is lovely.
I am playing catch up, sorry I missed it before.

You probably won't be around to see this comment, but in case you happen to remember that you sent some really nice photos here, here is my note to you. I happened to see this featured on the home page and felt constrained to save it on my hard drive because after two years, this doesn't fail to impress and I can see why it was chosen for the permanent gallery. Excellent work, and I wish you were still posting. :)PJ

Wonderful capture :)
