Great contrast, alphasco! I like the bokeh in the background as well! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, Equilution! I saw the shot yesterday during a morning break in almost two weeks of cloudiness and rain, and it was the contrast between the rose and the background shadows from the tree leaves that caught my attention. I had immediate obligations, though, and couldn't get back to take the photo. The sky clouded over again within a couple of hours. Luckily, this morning is clear and bright, though, so I went back got the shot. I was given the rare opportunity to regain a missed photographic opportunity!
