O my love's like a red, red rose
 

A goodly time back I gave a rose to someone I held dear to my heart when she came to visit. She was leaving for 4 months after her 2 day stay. She couldn't take the rose with her as she was flying (it would get smashed) so that night I took a number of photographs of the flower and then worked on creating a rose that she could keep forever.

this is the result. I wanted to share it so that others might enjoy it as well.

a cool image, nicely manipulated, and the sentimentality makes it stronger.

nice use of the watercolor filter.
the reds against the dark barkground is quite dramatic.
sweet sentiment. good job.

very nice idea. and agreed, the image itself would be great alone, the story behind it just adds more...

Wow Wow... Great stuff Vyk :D There's not much I can really say as everyone has basically said it :(

The colours and lighting and story behind it are great!

thats really sweet :)

that was awesome, you should definitely keep up the work. I'm sure you could probably sell stuff like that in prints or posters.

nice color

Ain't it Fatal?

I don't know if you are still checking this thread, but the original pictures would be interesting to see, to compare it to and see how you did the effects.
