A rose by any other name ....

[Johnboy2978]

is still a rose.

Nothing special, just haven't posted anything in a while. I got my wife a rose the other day, and decided to photograph it as well. This is actually the first time that I've ever really taken a decent (I think anyway) shot of a rose. In times past, I've never gotten the light right and it comes out all 'plasticy'. Anyway C&C are welcome.
Thanks for looking...

It's alright, but I feel like the reds could have been brought out alot more vividly...the setup's good, just maybe some more Photoshop tweaking...?

I really like the first shot.
