"A rose is a rose every day, every night You too are the same, except different in my sight
You are like a rose, such a beautiful creation But a rose in disguise, meant to blume for every nation
So show your beauty, for I know what you are You are a rose in disguise, and very, very wise
A rose is a rose is a rose..... "

Your visit and comment means a lot, thanks for stopping by :)
Your rose is very beautiful, Ina. I also like the poem you chose to accompany your photo.

The rose is beautiful, but I find the backdrop a bit "busy", so the flower does not stand out enough for my taste...

@vu@granby - Wolfgang: Maybe you will like this one better!
You are right, I like the other version a lot better, it really puts the rose at center stage with the blurred background!

Great work with the light in this photo. And the red really "pops."
