Day 52 - Rose

I was bought some flowers for my birthday and I'd been meaning to photograph them before they died so I took the opportunity this afternoon. I took quite a few but wasn't happy with them so decided to put my macro lens onto my camera and play with that. This was a stroke of luck as I was holding the camera away from me and hoping for the best....all about serendipity! I love this shot, the simplicity and beauty of the rose.
