The subtlety of this one bud is awesome and beautiful, especially with the black background to make it jump out at us. I'm sure it will be wonderful in full bloom..maybe you'll share that as well. Thanks for bringing it to us. Anita
I love the soft, halo like effect around the bud. I found myself mentally urging it to open when I looked at this in full view. I just can't understand why my psychic powers didn't work. LOL ;) j/k Very nice desktop!

Oooh, very nice. Can't wait to see it in full bloom. Please be sure to share it with us. Have a wonderful day buddy and thanks for all of your recent comments on my work. Sarah :)
Pretty rosebud JuneBug! Love the work that you do....thanks for the visit to my images. I cannot do too much typing, my right thumb is so painful (old age you know) and so the doctor injected it with cortisone today and I have been giving it a bit of a rest. It does hurt to use the mouse...I think it is the position that my thumb is in....I am being very careful as I type as well. Sorry for the short words, must go now. We will chat soon :~)
Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.

Hello everyone!
I am so glad you all like it! I moved the bud onto a black background and then used the burn tool in photoshop to smooth the edges onto the new background.

Very good. You have done justice to this classic image of a rose. The proportions, contrast and definition are all just in the right amounts. Good work.
Hi June, the beginning of new life in any form, simply fascinates me, and always has! What a beautiful depiction of this you have shared with us! This is so pretty June, so sophisticated, so classy, it rates among the best! Of course you know that the beautiful red bud, wraped in the distinguished black background is exquisite and helps to bring the fine photo to completion! Very nice job Junie Gem, very lovely indeed! Sincerely, Marilyn
