Thanks Jennifer . . . it IS a tad bit soft . . . but I was thinking it would add to the image . . . perhaps I should post a version that is tack-sharp and see if the soft and delicate effect is diminished any. Appreciate the comment though!

Very nice Doyle, beautiful light and shadows, very good exposure with nice details in the reds and textures. I like the fill-frame crop, the feminine curves of the petals, and the water droplets..you did indeed capture the delicacy and the beauty of this wonderful rose, well done...:)Lin

Excellent pof and dof to this gorgeously detailed floral study my dear Doyle. The red tones are beautiful and the droplets of water just further enhance the lovliness of this composition. Well done to you my friend for this wonderfully cropped composition. My very best wishes to you as always.....Ray:)

Hi Doyle ,
I don't know how you keep making me give you the highest ratings !!!!

How you keep coming up with new stuff ....

It must be something that only the 'King of Cool' ever gets . . . . woooo is me.., or is it woowh...is me... (?)
Regardless... it's a great shot of John with a beautiful sensitive title... which is also very true.

Best wishes,
Michele~

I cannot believe I missed this...another oversight on my part, please forgive me!
Muy elegante mi amigo! Outstanding clarity on the drops, I especially like those visible from under the (almost) center petal...great composition with wonderful texture and light, nice choice on the frame also...excellent Doyle!
Take care...Robin

ps...Did you move next door to Riny? ;)

I know Shirley . . . I'm with you on that . . . But the first five rose bushes I planted were named Matthew, Mark, Luke, John and Peter . . . and I wasn't thinking of references to them in he or she mentality. My Blue rose is . . . naturally . . . named Mary. :)

Such a delicate rose that is even more beautiful due to all the waterdrops balancing on the rosebuds. A very fragile photo - I don´t know how to say it in English. Well done, King of Cool Roses;-))

You're very kind with your comments Bek . . . and they're very appreciated! :)

Well see now Doyle, I dunno...genius-level skills? All this is is a very delicate, beautifully composed, well lit, exceptionally detailed image of John, a rose. The beads of water and DoF are quite brilliant also.....but I don't know why you are boasting...this is kind of standard fodder for you isn't it? kekekekeke;)
cheers, Bek
