It's not just a rose: the Baccara (so it's called in Italy) is the most beautiful red rose in the world.
Very good capture Susie.
Cheers.

Well lit, Susie. The saturated upper pedal has an almost transparent quality - as if the light was transmitted from behind. The picture is as good as having the flower!

Hi Kelly,
I picked up the 50 mm 2.4 lens. It has been a blast so far. I have no idea what kind of stuff I can do with it, so I'm really experimenting right now. Any tips?  )

Hi Ina,
I got the 50 mm 2.5. I was thinking of the 1.4 but was counseled that the 2.5 would be a little more versatile. I've been having so much fun with it. A lot to learn though! I'll be a flower taking fool this summer and I can't wait to try it with some portraits. )

Hi Susie, congratulations on the new 50mm - which one is it? I know there are two in the Canon line with different apertures.
Amazing sharpness, the edge of the top petal is razor-sharp, and the reds are perfectly saturated! I can see the veins on the R/H side of the bud. Great contrast with the greens, and I love that DOF! The 50mm should be great for portraits too! Best regards, Ina

A g reat angle of view Susie, nice light and a great presentation. I might have moved the rose up in the frame a little as it seems a bit centered now. Nice work . Don.

Hi Susie,
Whether they are fresh cut, dried or even just buds, it is hard to resist taking shots of roses.
This is a nice example. Roses are deceivingly difficult to shoot. I find that anyway. I think it is because of the velvety texture of the petals.
