This is an incredibly perfect capture, the beauty of this flower is breathtaking. The detail is so very good, that I can almost feel the softness of the petals, which literally leaves me speechless, almost. :) I even adore the shadows on the petals! A favorite.... really, really well done.
My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
Very nicely done. And maybe the rose bush doesn't feel old. Maybe it's just hitting it's prime. The quality of its flowers would seem to indicate it's still healthy. The delicate pastel quality of roses is starting to addict me to them. Maybe you too. Under the right light they have an almost confectionary quality, like they're made of sugar.
