My roses were late this year, but, WOW, such color. This is one of the first and I did photoshop it a bit darker than normal. But, I like it. When one looks at a rose, there is color and curves...they are everywhere. It's as if Nature hates a straight line.

This was in my backyard and I shot it late in the day with my D-200. I was using F/25 with a shutter speed in the seconds. Thank goodness for no wind. I opened it in CS-2 and used Nik filters for the final rendering.
