A week ago, while mowing the lawn, I noticed a peony blooming.  I thought it would make a nice picture.  So, the next day, I took my camera out and started taking pictures. While I was doing that, the mailman came.  So, after I thought I had enough images, I took my camera up to the porch and walked out to the mailbox.  Sometimes, things just are aligned in a unique way.  Debbie has a rose bush next to the mailbox and some of the roses were blooming.  It just so happened that the sun coming through the leaves of the trees created a kind of spotlight on one of the roses.

I took a few more than did an HDR bracket. I had watched a video on using some additional software to create a detailed look in the petals.  So, I played around with that and came up with this one.
