Good morning Peeps

Just a simple rose today, no framing as I dont think it needed it.

I blacked out some of the background as there were other roses behind and I just wanted this simple view.

Image shot in the rose garden at Blenheim Palace, if you ever get the chance to visit its well worth it as there is so much to see and photograph.

Image cropped and resized in photofiltre.

Have a great weekend

TTFN regards Smurfie

Hi Helen,
Magnificent texture, sharpness and DOF of this beautiful rose with such lovely colors!

UPDATE:
Recently I printed a photo which I had also pp´d having blackened the BG. After printing it I noticed that there were "residues" which, resulted in a very bad photo although on the computer it seemed perfect.
I made a WS to show what I do to avoid that problem.

Bonjour Helen,

Magnifique travail sur cette jolie rose aux teintes merveilleuses!
Superbes détails, un véritable régal pour les yeux!!!
Amitiés
Odile
