Frozen rose

Taken December 27, 2021 at 5:15 pm. Rose is on a Baby’s Blanket rose bush I did not prune. This one had snow on it, but it melted and the water drops froze. Temp was in teens when taken.

Nice to see a surviving rose braving the cold, and the frozen droplets are great! I think you could crop as shown to give more importance to the flower.

@Diane_Miller Thank you for the cropping suggestion. I like it.

Jim, the frozen drops on a good looking rose look great. As presented, the negative bluish space adds an interesting touch of isolation that seems very appropriate for a rose bloom in winter.

@Mark_Seaver Thank you.

Agree that the crop works to show off that frozen beauty. The way the water froze is really interesting and gave it a fascinating texture.
