A vibrant yellow rose photographed against a deep black background, its layered petals fully open and catching the light. The flower shows rich golden-orange tones in its depths, with delicate texture and subtle imperfections visible on the petals. Green leaves and stem emerge from below, creating a dramatic contrast with the dark backdrop. The lighting creates a chiaroscuro effect, giving the image a classical, painterly quality reminiscent of a Dutch still life painting.

Here's a second rose shot with my new #olympus60mmmacro lens.

It's slightly past its best - which gives it much more character. (possibly a picture that says as much about the photographer as subject.)

A vibrant red rose in full bloom photographed against a dark gray background, with rich crimson petals unfurling from the center, green sepals visible at the base, and a serrated leaf in the lower right corner.

Here's a rose shot with my Christmas present - the #olympus60mmmacro lens.
My #newyear resolution is to get better at #macrophotography #focusstacking and #focusbracketing. Another one tomorrow.
