Judges' comments:
Pops off the black. Great dew. Sharp. Fantastic subject. Maybe a little hot.
Maker's notes:
This is a hand-held outdoor shot, taken on our June 13th LACC scavenger hunt in Winona. The rose is on a rose bush. It was raining and I was wet. We had a lot of fun! Camera set at LARGE BASIC JPG. Picture Control: VIVID, +3 saturation, 6 sharpening. I blacken the leaves in Photoshop with the burn tool. With a proper brush it is very easy to do, even around the rain droplets on the edges of the rose.
