Caress

I like what you did with this rose framing it and making the background complement the colors of the rose. Most of the roses I see have either no background (black or super dark) or a shade of green from the other green leaves in the rose bush. Here I can tell you carefully framed the rose to make it stand out and be supported by the gray background, and the result is as eye catching as it is intriguing. The rose itself is a beauty just past her prime (I always see a rose as a "she"), but she's still a beauty and still attracts me with her subtle and unique scent.
