This is a very graceful and warm rose. The low-contrast light is nice. The monochrome background is unique and eye-catching. I would prefer a spider, however, to a fly.

RL, where do I go to order specific specie? Where is your entry? I'll have another look, maybe I missed it.

The DOF and colors are really nice on this one. Very elegant feel to it.

Is this rose Brandy? Very beautiful. The background and depth of focus are especially excellent. Thanks.

Just gorgeous, Charlie! Very lovely shades of peach and I really like the overall soft feel to this. The neutral background works great to allow the rose to get all the attention. The leaves and petals have a gentle pleasing droop. I like the inclusion of the bug. . .to me, it does add a bit of quirky interest. :smile:
