Description

Trying to get as close as possible to the rose! I love all the natural curves and waves, and I really liked the color of these particular roses...when I bought them at the store the clerk wanted to know if there was a special occasion, I said, "no I just want to photograph them!" :) indoor, natural light from window, f8, 1/30sec, 50mm.
