Thanks, Sandi, as it means a lot coming from the magnificent photographer to the macro dabbler! LOL

Thanks much for your gracious and welcomed comment on this piece, as it is very much appreciated. Thanks for stopping by for a visit to my galleries. I greatly respect your support!

RANDY, YOU SAID IT PERFECTLY IN YOUR DESCRIPTION "RAVISHING RED". ROSES HAVE A TEXTURE ALL OF THEIR OWN AND YOU CAPTURED IT ALL IN THIS MACRO CLOSE UP. THE COLOR AND TEXTURE YOU BROUGHT OUT, MAKES THIS IMAGE VERY SPECIAL AND UNIQUE WITHIN ITSELF! YOU CAN EVEN SEE THE INNER BUDS WANTING TO OPEN! WE CAN'T FORGET THE BABIES BREATH WHICH ADDS A LITTLE ELEGANCE TO THE ROSE! IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LES (F/V)

Thanks for the PIF, Poppy, as it is very honorable coming from you! I am truly grateful for your visit to my gallery and website, and am happy you chose to comment on a piece of my works. It is very welcomed and much appreciated! Forever, Elvis

Randy, This one gets the big WOW factor!! What a stunning beauty with its gorgeous red velvet petals and perfect shape. Excellent lighting, DOF and detail. The babies' breath frames the rose beautifully. This is truly perfection at its best!! This is my choice for the Pay It Forward in the Wisconsin Flowers and Scenery Group. fave and vote

A rose is a rose, is a rose. That is until Randy shoots it, then it becomes something more than just another rose, it becomes an extraordinary work of art! Voted

Thanks much, my friend, for your gracious comments, your f/v of support, and for stepping up, as I truly appreciate it. Email coming soon for personal thank you!

Randy---this has an amazing quality to it! Marilyn sent a nice message with it in the 'thanks discussion group'---one that we all need to hear this time of year. fave and voted

Beautiful rose...v/t/L/g+1

Love the velvet look about this flower. The babies breath helps to offset the blackness behind and matches the light reflections off the petals. Nice combination Great textures on the petals. vtd f
