Fallen Rose Bud on a Stem

This rose bud has seen better days. It was one of the Valentine's Day mini-roses that I brought home in a potted plant from the grocery store. (Actually, there were four plants in the pot; two still survive.) As I was cleaning one of the dead plants out of the pot, this bud with its stem fell off the plant. The flower never actually opened up like I might have hoped that it would, however, it does seem to be nicely preserved -- maybe I'll get a few more photos out of it. I set the rose bud pm black construction paper (hence, the fibers) and made 11 exposures for this HDR image. I tonemapped the exposures together in Photomatix, and then edited (cropped, etc.) in Aftershot Pro. Thanks for looking!
