Nice job on the rose and the visitor. Looks like it even kept dew on its antennas.

Sandy, it looks like you got plenty out of this rose, in the garden, with the insect posing for a photo you can enjoy for a long time as well as the flower in a vase in the house to see and smell. The dew drops on the flower and the insect really add a nice touch. I like the composition and the all black BG. Well done.

Sandy: Beauty and the beast perhaps? I hope the rose came in the house but the bug stayed outside :wink:. This is really well done with the subtle tonalities of the rose showing so well against the dark BG. Looking at your settings the light level must have been pretty low so :+1: :+1: for the processing as well. >=))>

Nice one, Sandy. The background really brought out the details and color.
