Another Rose. I got Power Retouche Black & White Studio this weekend. I've been having fun with it.

Wow, so beautiful. I love the contrast, the mystery, and the darkness. naebegirl · 2007-01-30: 00:42

i've always wondered about the symbolic value of a black rose. it's somehow menacing to me. foreboding in its dark beauty. yours is dark and beautiful. chipotle · 2007-01-30: 08:47

Great B&W. I agree with daisymae, it looks like velvet. mugsycat · 2007-01-30: 08:52

I guess some people say that a black rose means death. Some also say that it signals the death of old habits and a rebirth to a new love, etc. I would like to think of it as signifying rebirth. :) vollenda · 2007-01-30: 22:18
