The sun was shining right onto this gorgeous Rose so softly that I just thought it would really portray the warmth of the Springtime sun. I hope you'll enjoy this pretty lady. Comments are always welcome.
Verena you are making master degree on flower photographs. Your photos are like paintings. Indeed I tried a Gimp filter effect on this and it became a wonderful painting.

The gentle lighting really suits this fine lady perfectly, Verena. The water droplets on the leaves and the black and gilt framing really enhance the effect.
Pure class, photography at its very best.....just one thing though, I think it needs to be run through a 'noise reduction programe' apart from that, 10/10.
