[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
It was raining last night, and the roses the garden looked pretty with those droplets under the street lights. I tried to take some shots, but they came out blurry. So I thought to experiment with the light in my room and under the light of the lamp. Not a typical shot from me, I know.
PP: auto contrast, fade with multiply opacity 50% to get various colour tones and make the droplets stand out, it was grainy in the shady parts so I had to neat image, resized, framed.

I will post another version with different framing as workshop.

Couldn't think of another title, but after taking the shots my whole room really smelled (not a pun!) of the lovely fragrance.

Beautiful fragrance and bright colours to start my day, Marija. I really like your composition and the definition of the droplets. The light is great too. You are very showing a lot of versatility as a photographer as you seem to be able to do all kind of different types of pictures and do it well. Excellent.

P.S. Just saw the workshop version and it is also stunning.

Excellent photo Marija. Great colours, very clear and nicely composed.

Marija, Just beautiful, I can say! The droplets are so sharp that you feel like touching them.

I like both versions - do I have to choose only one??!! It's beautiful either way - this one is more "natural," but the other has such a gorgeous warmth and romantic feeling.

Your title is great! An oxymoron (sort of. well, not exactly, but... sort of...). :)

Gayle

looks like a dream. love the rich vibrant colours. the angle, and the positioning!

as always

ps: one bad thing though... I'm out of greens! :(

a scrumptuous image, very well done, (*_*)

Hi Marija,

For someone who states that they are only an amateur, your images are of top notch quality. The composition of this one is impeccable. The use of the drops, the soft colors, and the dof is very nicely done. I like this image very much.

olá Marija!
uau!!que foto!!tanta beleza junta!!os tons opacos dão as cores uma atmosfera que rasa o sensual.a luz que toca a flor é divina.
Parabens!

Hello Marija,
Beautiful shot which conveys the freshness of the flower. After comparing the 2 versions i think that the WS version is warmer amd more romantic, but this one is fresher and lighter. To choose between them? Impossible! Both are excellent:)

SUPERB!!

TFS!

Beautiful.
