SO beautiful rose..I love the colours and water droplets! A fine shot.

It certainly is Don and the way you have taken it against that dark background it positively glows with light. Lovely

Wonderful deep yellow and that tinge of red on the outer edges really makes it pop. Well done.

It sure is Don. I like the different shades of yellow.

Lovely frame-filling close-up with just enough green to set off the bright hues of the bloom.

One of the things that impressed me so in Washington were all of the beautiful plants and flowers. This is a beauty indeed!
