A hand-held chance shot of a lone delicate pink rose by the roadside in Queensland Australia. A bonus was that it gave off a pleasing perfume. E885 f2.8 1/250 ISO 100. Comments appreciated.

Chris,
Welcome to the forum. A very pretty rose. I think it could have used a little more dof as the closest petals seem a bit soft. Stopping down couple to maybe f5.6 would have kept it all sharp.

I agree with Dan. Also, there is a small amount of blue cast, easily fixed by warming up the white balance.

This is a very pretty rose portrait. I agree with the other poster on the bluish cast, but that is easily remedied.
