I took this in beautiful full sunlight, and the subtle colors of this rose really stood out. I used a reversed manual focus 50mm lens stopped down to f/8 on a Nikon DX body. Click the image for larger.

the essence of life and femininity, for how I see it.
Thank you for your detailed praise :)
Wow . Great. Fantastic...bla bla bla...
I would like to add that:
This photo has a Flowered-Koolaid grade level "just another rose" with a viewing ease "by any other name". This puts the artistic level on par with Shakespeare and National Lampoon.

Funny thing is I used to live in a place called: Rosental. It's German translation means rose valley. We had many different types and colours of roses. So I can tell you roses look always great :)
And smell great!
Gorgeous

Ah you are far too kind! Thanks so much.
Amazing photo! Can I reverse mount a 18-55mm lens on a Nikon d3200 for macro shots?
Thanks! I believe zoom lenses might have different characteristics, but you can try. You'll have to manually hold open the aperture ring. Otherwise, f/1.8 50mm manual focus Nikon E-series lenses (what I used here) are really cheap and so are reversal rings. Just make sure you get a ring that is compatible with your camera.
Beautiful!!!!
Thank you :)
