I liked the appearance of this red rose and decided to try my luck with my Nikon D70. The Nikon D70 is not known for handling red very well. In Post Photo Editing I did of course downsize the image, cropped and did a smidgen of sharpening. That is why you will see very little white bordering on few of the petals. I did use the Built-in flash, which surprisingly did a satisfactory job. The red on the bottom was difficult to clone and heal, which left an awful smear so I reverted back to the original.
Well, thanks for viewing and please feel free to offer comments/suggestion. This was taken in early evening, slight overcast with a 15mph breeze. Which meant I had to wait for the flower to stop moving.
Adios,
Antonio
