Of your last three rose images this is my fav for sure, Monica. I love the focus on the center petals tight and not quite ready to show themselves...maybe crop in a little tighter if you can and focus on the inner beauty of that most perfect find. You are making me think I need to get back out there again and smell the roses!!! #1476530

Hi Laurie, I am glad that my pictures are motivating you. Thank you very much for your compliments and advice!! Here I am posting the same photo with a small crop. Do you think that looks better that way, or need to crop it further? #10247078
