Very nice! Look at those wonderful colors. Perfect point of focus, with such a busy scene the most beautiful flower gets my attention. Little drops of water add more interest.

Thanks all very much. Yes, the reds do often seem to overwhelm the sensor. I started to realize when processing this one I've had a tendency to over saturate reds in the past to the point of sacrificing detail- will try to resist this in the futue. I shot this fairly early in the morning when the flowers were shaded by a tree and the sun wasn't too bright yet and partly overcast, this helped a lot I think.

Nicely done Brent it has a really good look to it. There seems to be different types of red that overwhelms the sensor I haven't worked out which ones so its just pot luck for me. Overcast weather is the best chance though & for better colours.

Beautiful, Brent. I find it impossible to get photos like this...some issue my sensor has with reds.

Beautiful and yes of course roses are one of favorite flowers. Nice reds and good H2O effects. :)
