Thank you, Roby!!! You are so kind....
Actually, it just happens that this image is in a book which came out this month. The book is called: A comprehensive guide to digital close-up photography, written by John Clements. Published by AVA - Switzerland. (ISBN 2-88479-062-4).
I cannot deny that I am a bit proud of it! ;-)

Thank you all for your positive comments!
As for the lighting...very simple really: a halogen desklamp.
Robert wants to know how the rose racted...it didn't like it!
Halogen gets very hot and I had it very close to get enough light shining through the rose. It wilted right after the shoot I'm afraid...
And yes it was a digital (Sony F707), highest quality JPEG which is 2560 x 1920 pixels. You can make an excellent A4 print of it.

I don't readily compliment. This is photo is captivating. I would call it "10,000 Words" simply because it requires no title, no explanation. I cannot see how it could be improved upon. I would be curious as to the type of backlight you employed. Was it a simple tungsten low-watt bulb, an inky-dink with a fresnel, or what? How did the rose react: does it quickly wilt? An interesting change might be to use an eye-dropper and put some glycerin drops on the back side of the petals to resemble dew drops: they neither harm the plant nor evaporate or run quickly. Was this a digital shot and if so, how many megapixels so I know how large it can be enlarged. If not, what type of film?

I'm sorry that I could not give this exceptional macro a "10" Marion. It deserves it. This really jumps off the screen at you and demands that you look at it and study it. Isn't that what a great photo is supposed to do? Bravo, and congrats! Regards.

to this shot. Truly, something to aspire to! Each petal glows with its own inner light! Just wish that the tiny hot spot in the upper left wasn't there!

I think that I've used all my metaphors for the heat i see in these roses - I can't seem to duplicate your success (I've tried)...
You missed a hot spot in the upper-left...

As my children might say, "Wow! Way cool!" It really glows. I like it. IMHO the border is a bit heavy, or something in it is bothering me - it seems to take away from the "glowing" of the rose. But that's just my perception.
