Right before I left Appleton Gardens, I saw this red rose. I wanted to really emphasis the redness of the rose and also show the thorns. Recently, I viewed a slideshow showing Kodak and Chromachromes that were so impressive. I wanted that deep red look in this photo.
I shot the original image using Manual exposure. Then I brought it into Color Efex Pro and looked for film types that would emphasize the redness of the rose.
