Description

Some shots just happen in spite of everything that works against it. Even ignorance and inexperiance. This rose seemed to have bloomed just for this shot. While the lighting was intentional, the result took my breath away. This rose, come to life for this moment, will never fade away.

Thank you. Sometimes its the simplest things that are the most striking. I took this group shot with the same lighting and similar exposure but the content sets an entirely different mood. -LN #1328272

Larry very nice soft image of this rose. Looks like it could be in a bridal bouquet. Kerby #1328278
