Another Tea Rose

Yep, It's a 13 image focus stack. :smile: I hope y'all aren't getting tired of these! The roses are about done, but the Sasanqua Camellias are starting to bloom. By Christmas there should be a considerable variety of these and other camellias. Also, my wife and I will be taking a Christmas road trip to Tucson and San Francisco over the holidays. I hope to find many different subjects then as well.

Enjoy, and thanks for viewing and commenting!

Beautiful rose. Great detail, color and dof. The flower stands out from the background very nicely.

Great colors and details in that bloom Philip. I like being able to see the lines in the petals. Nice light and a great stack (as usual).

Love the delicate colouring of this one, Phil, stacked with your customary care. Perhaps the bg is a bit less successful than on other shots ( the oof leaf especially not working too well for me ) but still a lovely image.
