Deb, this is a beautiful rose.
Make me think of my Great-Grandma and the stories my Mom tells about her and her magnificent rose.
This is a great photo.
So up close with so many textured details.
Great job in how your flashlight reflects and shows the raindrops on the petals so well.
Very clear and focused photo.
Such a pleasure to view, thank you for sharing.

Comment from TBI John


In time of silver rain
The earth
Puts forth new life again ,
And flowers lift their heads ,
And all over the plain
The wonder spreads
Of life
In time of silver rain
The butterflies
Lift silken wings
To catch a rainbow cry
And trees put forth
New leaves to sing
In joy beneath the sky
In time of silver rain
When spring
And life
Are new .

A beautiful rose indeed. The water droplets really add a special feel to the composition. Your focus and detail are spot on. the black background to present it on is lovely. Beautiful technique in this shot. Thanks for sharing.

I am not found of dark background, but the darkness works perfect for this composition. It intensifies the texture of the petals and the exquisite reflections in the water drops. The water drops are not distracting. The highlighted water drop above is especially attractive because it draws our eyes to the petals.

    The dark background is my place Cleo. There is no other house w/in a mile of my place so when I'm out in the gardens at night it's just me and the stars.....the very dark night....and, of course, my flashlights lol Do so appreciate you having a look at this piece and thank you for the really lovely review you've given it. It is wonderful to have you reviewing again.

    I realized it was taken at night, jusddt wanted to metion that what is a plus in some compositions like yours, could be a minus in others.

Wow! Your after dark photography is stunning. Your sharp focus and many beautiful shades of orange making this an exquisite shot. Your central composition is commanding. Your dark background accentuates your photography beautifully. Outstanding work and thanks for sharing I so enjoy reading your artists notes I love it!

Comment from Paul G.


I prefer Crackling Rose. Oh, wait. That is another subject altogether.

I love everything about this. The black background. The detail in the water. The color of the rose. Just a fantastic image. Well done.

Comment from Rose Elways


This is so lovely. I love roses (and not just because of my name) the colors of the rose is different and so beautiful so I am gkad that at least this one grows for you! Also what a great idea to take a picture after it rained. Also greay focis to see the details of the flower. I also like the dark backgroind so that all the focus is on the flower.
