The name of the rose, by MinoltaManiac

This one is slightly different than the previous one. And different flower is now here, certainly meaning something different than before. Can you guess what's that actually? ... Well, I hope you'll like this one too.

I can't decide which one of this one and "Three Buds" I like the best, they are both great images, but your choice of title for this one is perfect, with it's reference to Ecos brilliant novel and Adso's final reflections over his choise of the spiritual world over the material one: "stat rosa pristina nomine, nomina nuda tenemus".

Maniac,
I actually like this image better then the first. It has me wondering about your subject. Is she pissed, or excited, or is she awaiting someone? It just holds more emotion and mystery for me. I also love the use of texture and tone to carry the image, just a hint of graphical erotica yet overwhelming mental erotica. It is indeed an image I can see hanging tastefully on a wall.

Hi MM. Of your two shots I like the other one better. While both are virtualy identical, I find the pose of the first more appealing.
