Here's another rose I captured:

It kind of reminds me of a prop on an outboard motor. ;) :) :D

Your photo is very Pretty too! Sometimes a little perspective change like getting down to the level of the flower or a little lower will make all the difference in the world when it comes to photo time. Also, play around with different camera settings. F stop and shutter speeds can drastically change what a photo will look like. Also, don't be afraid to really get in close to the subject! I was within inches of the roses in my photos.

I have been taking photos for a great many years and I also was mentored by two Top Notch Professional Photographers, so I definitely have a Huge advantage over most people. :)

Try, Try, Try and Experiment! That's what it all comes down to in photography!
