I can't attest to this being a cracklin' rose of a shot. But you do what you have to.
Enjoy and your comments welcomed.

Hi ya, Wendell...
I'm not sure what to say about your rose shot. I've seen so many flowers today on Caedes that I could just about puke. Flowers really are beautiful, but it's like eating chocolate or a really big pickle. The first few bites are really delicious, but after awhile it's just too much of a good thing. To compound the "Foofy Friday" misery, there are those Caedes members that submit flower shots all week. After 30 flower shots in a week, I'm just flowered out.
The Neil Diamond song was nice, the image doesn't have any glaring technical fault that I can see. To me the bloom looks different from the background as if it was placed in there with the foliage. The bloom has that neat soft focus that I like, but the background leaves are sharply focused. I downloaded the shot and looked around at 1200% magnification. Every pixel was there. I know because I counted them all. However, if you look at the far left petal where it meets the green, I swear there's some sort of nearly imperceptible halo or discoloration.
And if you play the rose backwards, it says, "Paul is dead". Hiding in plain sight my ass. By the way, did anybody else notice?

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
Beautiful composition and focus. Its very mesmorising to look into the centre of the rose and see the twirling around of the petals into the middle! Great work!

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the almighty. I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom i trust". Psalm 91: 1 and 2
Wendell - I viewed it at full screen, choosing to not go to 1200 percent as did Roger, and see a fine looking bloom. Like Rachel notes, looking at the center of the flower and the thing begins to spin, a la Alice in Wonderland. But, no Mad Hatter appeared, unless Tick, Sayed or Rob count. ;-)
You have excellent control of the reds (difficult to accomplish) and a large enough depth of field to have the bloom, its junior to the upper right, and its nearby leaves focused crisply. NIcely done! Thad

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine
