nice picture but seems a bit noisy to me.....
Maybe crop it a little and try cleaning up a bit of the noise.

I'm new to all this too so we can learn from each other and the comments made on our pics.....
I think maybe its all the highlights from some of the ice that make it look noise.
If you don't mind i'll play around with it a bit and see what i can do with it..just for the fun of it. Practice my PS skills.

Hi pinball,
Yes I feel u have improved the pic in someways but feel in cleaning it up u have lost the frosty look 2 the rose.Which is the part of it's beauty,along with the time of year&it not supposed 2 be in bloom.
But ty 4 ur efforts in showing me wot could bve done with the pic.

I liked the composition before the crop. I liked it ebing apart of the whole stem but that's me. Maybe try a little sharpening on the top rose petals as that seems to have the most pixelness.
