The only rose bloom around at this time of year!
The bloom is facing east, with the residual sky light illuminating from the back of the bloom.
Had enough light to get backlit translucence through the petals.
No post processing done on this. Straight out of the camera's jpg.
Slightly under-exposed to give the sense of evening, although it was right at dusk.
I guess I was impressed with what RichardL was doing with his version of this lens, so I just wanted to join him.
That lens really does nice work.
Thanks to Richard for his inspiration!
Angky.
