[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is for Linda Unger and any other members who are enjoying a birthday today!
Have a terrific day and a happy healthy year to come.

Capture: The rain had ended just minutes before and the sun angled its rays between the clouds :) Shot at f/7.1 for a shallow dof and a softer effect

Tech: Captured in raw and adjusted levels, contrast & saturation in raw with PhotoShop CS2, converted to jpg, cropped slightly from sides and base, resized, sharpened and signed

Thanks for looking and for all your critiques, workshops and suggestions. I should be back on TL for full participation within a few days. Please forgive me until then. Have a healthy, happy, and safe weekend.

OH MY GOSH THAT'S RIGHT!! It is her birthday. What a wonderful post for her. The rose is absolutely gorgeous and I'm sure it smells devine. There is nothing like the scent of a rose. You certainly have captured the beautiful details nicely. The drops of rain just add to the fresh feel of the photo.

thanks for sharing, Lisa

absolutly stunning close up, fine details and composition and i love the color-very different, nice work!
tfs,

Velvet and orange silk - that is what this reminds me of - rich and happy that as well - Silke a very lovely dedication for Linda (and in my favourite colour ^-^).

Linda: Van harte gefeliciteerd!

TFS and hope your day will be as brilliant as this picture and with a happy ending )I will keep my fingers crossed).

Aha I did read the forum and now know I can not hint at anything here - so I don't with a smile on my face.

Hi Silke, I think taking a fine photo of a rose so it shows three dimensions as you have here is a very good test for both the camera and the photographer. The colours and crop are excellent with care taken. tfs. Murray.
