New Year’s Day Rose in B&W

Going outside my front door, our rose bush caught my attention as the early sun backlit the flower petals. In fact, it was beckoning me to get my camera and capture the moment. So I put on my 50mm, mounted the camera on my tripod, scrunched down with my head against the house wall in order to get just beyond the minimum focus distance of the lens, and tripped the shutter.
