Roses are Red

I'm still on the lookout for red things to photograph. I thought I would try our new florist in what used to be the NatWest bank. They didn't have any red flowers, not roses, nor tulips, nor gerberas. They were all the wrong colour. Then I spoted a single red rose on a windowsill and asked if I could buy it. The assistant said it wasn't in the best condition as it had been there a few days. Never mind I said, it will be ideal for what I have in mind. So I got it for a reduced price.

I had already decided to use the Pep Ventosa technique and end up with this.
