Default Crazy Red Rose

Here's a Craze Red Rose.* In our front flower bed we have a miniature rose bush.* The lighting wasn't great but I thought I'd tried to see what I could get without flash.* I didn't like what I saw when I had imported the picture into Picasa so I started to see what I could do.* When I went full scale on enhancing shadows I came up with this.* I liked the look and so here's the Crazy Rose. (After the first comment I realized that I put up the small thumb nail image, so I've changed the image to full size. Makes a difference.)

I like the softness too. Great color. Red is hard to do.
