@Jason Kravitz: Thank you, thank you, thank you, Jason.
Now that you mention it... I was planning to launch my own rose tea brand here in Aminus3. Would that violate the user agreement?

I choose to see more symbolism: I'm thinking that the petal is kissing its own fading and ageing face in a mirroring surface.
___
It's the same nuances as my latest photos. That burgundy colour that you noticed (or is this more rust?). The deep black.

There is no macro feeling here – the proportions are different, not "natural". I like that. It feels like being both close and far away in this shot.

@n: A perfectly valid, coherent choice, N.
___
Maybe, you're right... In Spanish we literally call it "old" pink (I think it's dusty pink in English, but I'm not so sure). There you have another symbolism.
___
Well, it was not my intention to shoot a macro, so your comment is truly rewarding.
"Both close and far away"... That's the feeling exactly.
Thanks, N.

@nima: Thank you, Nima. There's yet another one to come in this series, but it's not beauty precisely... Maybe soon.
dee from Innsbruck, Austria
Yesterday's and today's shot are wonderful. So full of beauty and peace ... they are so "zen-like" ...
10 Dec 2007 5:25pm
@dee: Thanks, Dee! I always appreciate your comments.
(Who would have said that someone would call these "zen"...)
@yiannis krikis: Funny, but this is everything but a studio...
Thanks, Yiannis.
@Eleftheria, 9 years old,: That's very nice of you, miss, thank you!

Morris J. Chisholm from Thunder Bay - Land of the Sleeping Giant, Canada
Oh yeah, now that is photography!

@Morris J. Chisholm: Thank you, Morris.
I gather this is a veiled critique to the rest, which are not photography at all! (Kidding.)
@Jim Bridges: Thank you, Jim, I'm glad you liked it.
