I read in Scott Kelby’s book “The Digital Photography Book” that the best time to shoot flowers was when the sky is grey and even better right after the rain. As I completed that part of the book the rain started, so I ran out with my camera to the rose bush outside our flat and shot this one.

Scott was right the colors come out best when taken right after the rain.

And the droplets of water make the rose look even fresher.
