"A Rose is a Rose by Any Other Name" (Shakespeare)



This was taken after a rainstorm and could not resist taking this shot for the macro project. Played around in Photoshop for a long time trying to edit this. Hope everyone enjoys it. Jerry, please let me know how I could improve it.
11/30-Jerry, I edited the photo and also changed it to B&W. Let me know if you think that it is better now.
Thanks,
Michael

Awesome shot! It almost looks like a strawberry mixed with a rose. Very cool. I love the water drops on the flowers, it gives them such an artistic look!

I love the raindrops as well on the petals. I've been dying to find a shot like this.

Nice... I would have gone a little easier on selecting it and darkening the background... the transition is a bit abrupt.

As always, your work is beautiful!

The waterdrops on the rose is awesome. The black background makes the rose brighter. I like this photo!

The pictures are beautiful! I love how you blacked out the background on the second picture.

The top one is a big improvement! Less heavy handed.
