An hibernated rose

Gallery: FloraPosted February 20, 20172,290 views7 comments

Stands up to the winter this bolt rose taken soon after a night of cold rain and frost.

D800E, Nikkor 200mm macro - f/22 and ISO 320. I'll be glad if you look at the photo in the larger view.

Thanks for your opinions and help.

The shades and colors are fascinating Gigi. The details as you have pointed out in the large version are great. This elicits a sad mood, a beautiful flower, overtaken by time and the elements, has struggled very hard to hang on, but losing the fight in the death grip of the sheeting ice.

Something different and unique - lovely.
The icy coat on the old rose elicits lots of emotions..
Wonderful work!

Glittering in decay, the flower evokes a strong mood, Gigi , and is perfectly set on the sombre background. Beautifully presented, as ever !!
