I'm often shooting handheld in low light & I'm motivated by the light more than a chance to get a perfectly sharp shot. Appologies in advance. I'm interested in your very first reaction to this shot from May 2008.

Thanks for the comments. Some of the things that are sharp & clear can not be seen with anything but the mind's eye.
Now you see I'm different to Karen (in more than just the obvious ways) I think I would have liked to see the inside of the rose lighter and showing more detail.
Classic combination of red and black though, and nice details on the petals.
