Macro : A Rose

I was shopping at MaxValu, when I found the flower section inundated with fresh flowers like never before, only for me to realize that Mothers day is around the corner.

[1/5 sec , f22]

There were a multitude of rose plants to choose from and I picked a bonzai rose plant if I can call it so, back home I put myself to work with my macro lens on the tripod. The end result was rather OK kind of stuff.I was struggling with the lighting. Need to figure out how to illuminate macro subjects !!

Camera : D70
Lense : Tamron SP AF 90mm F2.8 Macro 1: 1
Tripod : Yes
