Roxy Rose

This rose I dedicate to a very dear friend that passed away last February. She struggle with cancer for a year before passing away. She a brain tumor and had cancer in the lining of her heart, god love her. She left behind many friends and a great family. I miss her dearly.
I was sitting in my computer room one day and it started raining while I was sitting there thinking about her and the struggle she had to face everyday. When the rain stopped, I got up and looked out the window and saw this beautiful rose full of life and I thought of her. I took this picture and I passed this rose on to anyone that donated money to her family for their struggles to make ends meet. Her name was Roxy. The drops of rain on the rose are teardrops from all that loved her. She will live on in our hearts forever.
This picture was taken in my garden in Port Hardy , BC. She also was orginally from Newfounland, I knew her since I was 13 years old.

This photo was previously admitted to the group Photography 101. I like it alot,however, the group guidelines ask for an explanation in your description about the photography aspects of the work. Can you please give more detail about your camera, lens, settings, what photography techniques you used, etc? I’ll check back again later to see if it meets guidelines, but if not, I will have ot remove it. Please remember its not a personal thing, but we would liek this group to be a learning group for others. You can resubmit it at any time with the forementioned changes! Thank you!
