Arco-Íris Reloaded
Dark rose

Foi para ti que criei as rosas.
Foi para ti que lhes dei perfume.
Para ti rasguei ribeiros
e dei às romãs a cor do lume.

looks like a stone flower, with this color, even with the velvet petals

I really like the detail. I'm a bit reluctant not to use colour when taking shots of nature, but the lack of colour works well here :)

@Bahar: Thanks Bahar.

Though it is a fresh rose, it looks more like a faded rose. didn't know that macro pictures can be this gloomy. great shot.

It almost looks like a statue, would go great with an Emily Dickenson Poem! ;-)

Is this one of those black roses? If not what color was it? Interesting photo, I have never seen a flower portrayed so gloomy, I like it.

Fantastic macro & B/W shot. The texture is great. By this photo you prove that flowers are very amazing regardless their colors. Well done.

Uma forma diferente de ver a beleza das rosas.
Gostei da ideia de transformar a fotografia em preto e branco, é algo fora do vulgar.
Parabéns pela ideia e pelo resultado.
