Absolutely gorgeous Craig! The processing just transforms this past its best rose! :)

@Behrooz: After I picked the Rose, I "nuked" it in the microwave oven for two minutes. Then, I threw it on the flatbed scanner. Motion blurred an old photo and used a blend mode for the background. Thanks for the comment!!!

Very creative. Sorry for the rose that had to be microwaved, but the effect is great.

It works well, what gave you the idea to microwave a rose?

@Richard_Irwin: I wanted to photograph a dried flower and I only had fresh ones. :0)

Wow, that's what I call ART! A rose is a rose is a rose, even after a trip to microwave heaven and back ...
