Description
Peach rose with petals edged in purple, against a beautiful bokeh of purple and green. Minimal digital effects have been used to give a more artistic look to this image, designed to having a calming, elegant look while providing botanical interest in its luminous detail, softened with a Gaussian blur. Between the center of the rose and its lilac-kissed outer petals is the new Pantone color "Peach Fuzz." Named in 2023, this shade is not quite pink and not quite peach, but a blend of both in a very hushed tone.
The center of this rose is unusual in that it forms the shape of a heart. The heart reminds me of two lovers facing each other, their foreheads touching in a tender moment. Ideal for the bedroom, boudoir, or living area—as is the new Pantone color, "Peach Fuzz."
Nikon D7100, Nikon 105mm/f2.8 Micro Lens, Hoya circular polarizer, and ND filter, shot indoors with available light using Sandisk Extreme. Image has been cropped to the equivalent of an 8x10, although much larger sizes are available, as are greeting cards. True colors with no enhancement.
