Glowing Red Rose

Wednesday 1st June - Day 165

Some days the imagery is just outside the front doo... literally. There is a climbing rose that produces lovely flowers right next to the door, and is in the process of blooming some gorgeous flowers... these deserve a straight PaD of their own at some stage soon, but meanwhile, here is one that I messed around with earlier :)

Lensbabified, and Gaussian Blur/Overlay trick

Nikon D70 ,Sigma 50mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro
1/60s f/8.0 at 50.0mm iso400 with Flash full exif

other sizes: small medium large auto

Lovely rendition of the rose, Lee. Makes me want to start singing..."Some say love, it is a river that drowns the tender reed..." But then I'm no Bette Midler. You do inspire, though. :)

Identifying roses is something I never attempt as even the experts don't find it easy to do, but gee, that does look like the beautiful Dublin Bay, a climber & a truely lovely one. So is your work on it Lee.
