Roses Old Masters Painting

^{Be sure to click on the image to view it full screen!}

This photograph is interesting to me for two reasons.

The first is that the lighting makes it look more like an old masters oil painting than a photograph. (You will probably need to view it full screen to see the effect.) I love it! 😊

The second is that there appears to be two very different types of roses in the shot. However, when I took the photo I was pretty sure it was just the one. So much so that I called over the people who were with me to take a look wondering, "how can two such different roses grow on the same bush"?

Now I'm home, and looking at the photo again I can't believe that this was actually one rose and feel I must have been mistaken. But I do remember we all agreed at the time that this was one bush and therefore very unusual.

Have you ever seen anything like this?
