Heavy post-processed rose, the image of which was taken in New York City, but I believe, the country defaulted from my previous photo, that I just posted on Trek Nature! - Not good, I was not able to change it. That is why the location may look strange.

Anyway, this is my co-worker's rose, that she got at work for her birthday. I liked its color very much and just needed to depict it on a photo! But it is worth mentioning that the original color was less vivid - it had a beautiful combination of pink and white colors. It became more "rosy" after I added contrast a little.

While I was adding sharpness, I decided to experiment and added it almost to the maximum and liked the effect. Then I just added an outside drop shadow and - voila!

This is one of my few macros, that I started to like to do and would like to practice more on.

When naming the photo, I liked the word play and left it as it was.

The original photo of the rose is attached.

A really nice image and I got a huge kick out of the New York City, Mexico location! Good job on the PP work. Have a great week.

Hi Irina,

Great shot and excellent PP work, make the roses look like a paper rose instead. I like that idea. Just one thing thou, I like to see it in bigger version as you know TL size can go up to 800 X600.... I am sure your roses will look much better in that size... :D

Excellent work,

Thanks for sharing

Cheers,
Sweety
