I've taken hundreds and hundreds of rose shots through the years and this is one of my favorites. I hope you like it as well. It was taken at the Cook Memorial Rose Garden in Libertyville IL. All comments and, especially, helpful critiques are greatly appreciated.

A lovely composition, Kathy. It's like the main bloom is cupped by the stems holding the buds.

A really lovely bloom (Paul Shirville, I think). It looks like it's spotlit as it stands out so well.

Hi, Kathy...That is one terrific photo of a beautiful rose. I like the rose bud babes that are framing the mama rose. You have created a signature style with the softness that makes the rose look like silk. The background contrasts splendidly with the rose which leaps off the screen. If this were anything but a flower, it would have been a "fav". That only slightly makes sense, doesn't it?
