Rose In the Courtyard (Finalist)

Description

Courtyard Baker Church
A beautiful blossom is a fleeting thing
It stays for a moment and then takes wing:
With special rays we catch it ere flight
So all may enjoy the beautiful sight.

Hi Monique! :-)
I find myself coming to your gallery almost every day to see what new things you have come up with and you never disappoint me. This pic is....well....WOWWW! One of the prettiest roses I have ever seen, with such a softness to it. They background gives a really KEWL contrast. Keep em' coming, girlfriend!!!

monique !

brilliant photo ... reminds me of a soft-light portrait, but with a flower.

it radiates, with fantastic detail and color... almost commercial because of its 'universal aesthestic'

love it :) !
