Love and a yellow rose

Nikon D300, Sigma 150. F/25, 4sec, ISO 200.

Valentine's day is coming, what's more appropriate than a rose as a symbol of love. Comments appreciated.

Beautifully done Albert. Great light and processing for my tastes.

I like the centrally placed brightness with fall off toward the edges and corners....helps to concentrate the viewers attention on the most interesting part of the flower.

Have you ever had a chance to compare the Sigma 150 to the Nikkor 200? I would like something in this focal length range but the Nikkor is rather pricey....

Wonderful, Albert. Looks like you can look far into a rose tunnel...nicely executed. It looks more peach to me than yellow...could be my monitor.
