Thank you for sharing this and your thoughts too. The reds and gold in the rose are spectacular and the petal edges don't look soft on my screen - just nice crisp detail. Jan

Ah, but were they always 'ugly and mean', Merete?
Originally, I mean?
It's a tough question you posed!
My own view, (for what it's worth!), is that when it all started it was all "very good". (Genesis 1v31)
Thanks for the kind comment! )
Hugs, Chris

Yes, as someone once said, "Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these." The photo's not so dusty, either. A pretty good substitute for the real thing for those of us who have no chance of seeing the flower itself.

This is indeed gorgeous Chris. Now I'm not a great gardner of any repute (I can sometimes tell a weed from a flower but not often) but this flower is stunning. The unner petals purse together almost like lips. The colours are rich and vibrant and almost glow on the edges. What a wonderful find and an equally wonderful image you've created.

It is a work of art! And a thing of awsome beauty. But the ability to transfer that thing of beauty to a media where others can enjoy it is no small accomplishment. AND your presentation of the rose makes it a work of art. In other words....I like it :-) Best wishes, Larry.
