    This is a very nice reflection shot… I also have another idea for this if you would like to pursue it… if you know how to use selective color in photoshop.. you should desaturate the image (make it b&w)... then use the history brush to color in the reflection.. so you have a b&w rose with a color reflection! I think that would look awesome! Give me a bmail if you need help if you decide to do that! Take care!

    Hi Ryan. I like your comment, as always. I can do selective coloring, no problem. May start working on it soon.
