When I first saw this deviation, I couldn't believe that it was a picture, until you mentioned you use a Canon.

I was so amazed, I had to stop and stare at the details for a bit--to understand every detail, from the intricacy of the dewdrops, to the minute details within the petals. It was as beautiful as any other painting of a red rose, but the difference was, this was captured in real time.

It's not everyday that a mere image makes you ponder and gaze in awe. Everyone can take a picture of flowers laden with dewdrops, but it's not everyday that a picture would make someone stop and appreciate the beauty and mystery portrayed by the photographer.

Great Job. *manly backpats* 8>!!
