[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Hi all,

Been a while since I posted so thought I'd do something tonight. I got this one an hour or two ago. I think there may be a fairly similar one in my gallery already though... oh well.

PP- not much. This is the full frame. I just adjusted levels and applied some USM really.

Well, it's a flower so there really isn't much else to write. I chose it and the title because someone at work saw some of my pictures/ titles and said "argh your so depressing!" ;p Hope this is happier...

Hope you like it,
Jako

A lovely pink rose!! Good macro and beautiful drops!!
What was the background??

Well done!

Greetings Janneke

Hi Jako,
Veri nice very aesthetic. I like brighten and sharp water drops on petals. Very good POV and well done it. Congratulations.

Hello, Jako,
It's simply wonderful! In my opinion it has everything to make it a good photo - composition, sharpess, good light, and (last but not least) - an interesting note (and a cheerful one :)
Regards, Evgenia

Jako,
Unbelievable. The detail is very special. I like the superb use of light and the composition. VERY well done!

Nice composition and excellent light. You really got the drops sparkling nicely. Part of me want to see the foreground more in focus: I feel I'm missing some of the beauty. Still a very nice work!

Hello Jako,

This is a wonderful Macro shot. Did you spray it or is it natural rain drops ? I love the very dark background which gives all the space to the rose's beauty.

TFS.

Hi Jako,
This is a realy amazing sharp shot of a beautiful rose [my father was between 1938 and 1940 a rose nurseryman in Epson] so it gives me good memories seeing such a great photo of this flowr. The waterdroplets are stunning sharp. An excellent posting my friend! TFS.

:) Later...

Same flower, totally different approach. This image is much more of a close up focus and well it's cropped quite closely. I think I prefer this one to the first. I doubt I could ever tire of these flower images you take, they're so intricate and gorgeous. This could maybe be my favourite... hmmm very nicely done! Another master-piece!

Biance.
