Our rose plant in the front yard is going nuts at the moment and I thought I would get romantic and place a few around the house for my wife (yes, we are still married even after all this time... 8 months). The roses have an awesome scent which you just don't get any more from roses purchased in the shops. The rose is a beautiful colour but converting it to black and white added to its beauty. Typically you just look at the colours of a rose and move on, but when its black and white, you really start to notice the structure and delicate curves of the flower. I'm hoping it's more interesting to the viewer than just another rose picture... you be the judge.

I agree Matt ... the black and white make you more mindful of the intricate shapes ... roses are magnificent flowers.
