bold close up soft image tempers it), love the pov here. good focus and dof.

oops... should have noted that this is a composite (using one regular shot blended with a composite mode shot made up of five shots on the k3)

Excellent photo. Perfectly executed.

It almost has a desaturated look to it, and then i can see almost every color around the rose. Nicely composed.

The rose is stunning, and as Sandy has said the image has a nice soft glow to it, particularly near the top.

Interesting image from a macro lens - kinda soft and glowy, but still very appealing.

Love the 'Pretty People" picture hanging above. The people coming in and saying, "Can you make me look like that?" Great shot.

One of the big reason I got out of S. Calif.

A bit busyish, but loads of titbits to explore. nice touch with that standout red cup.

marvelous texture and love the contrasting colors.
