About the Image(s)

I rarely photograph flowers because I’ve seen so many of them. However, I thought I’d submit one this month. I took it at a local garden about 15 years ago. My goal in post-processing was to modify the lighting so that the center of the rose immediately caught the viewer’s eye.
I processed it in Camera Raw, with final touches in Topaz.

Data: Canon 5Dii; 100mm macro lens; 1/15 sec; f/16; ISO 800; tripod.
