Against the sky...
The wind was so strong yesterday as I was taking this, that it was a matter of getting a focus, and then just waiting for the rose to come back into the viewfinder....
It took a few goes, but I'm happy with this one..
Hand held, 12x zoom, straight from the camera.... no cropping, no
post-processing.
