Hello Friends:
This rose is again, from Portland Rose Garden! And if you like yellow, you will like it. I have given this one a softer look. To me, it is always an amazing thing that you never find two roses the same. Similarly, we all are unique because we are uniquely created. I see pride in this rose. We too should be proud of our unique 'creation' here. Each work here to me, is never the same as others, and yet beautifully reflects our different personalities.
My old Olympus E-10 has served me well here. I have mostly opened the F stop all the way (F/2.8) because I like taking advantage of the ambient light as much as I can. At 1/160 sec. and keeping the ISO at 80 and handheld, It gave me the gradient yellow that was there.
Thanks for viewing.
David

Well although I'm not a fan at all of the 'over the edge of the frame' technique, you have executed it well - and the basic shot here is stunning. Beautiful light, sharpness, colour, and from what I can see of the background, excellent depth of field and background too.

Hello David,
Well captured, superb details!
You manage to get this soft-crisp texture in the petals that requires a good definition to be successful...
Delicate colours and a fine feeling of depth!

I see you like roses! They're my favorite flower. And among your many rose postings this one is my favorite. You can clearly see the entire rose and how the petals form a spiral to the center. The color is beautiful and the slight pink on the edges of some petals is a perfect touch. You took a photo and did this beautiful rose justice in your end product. A great photo! My only complaint: it feels a little dark. Just a little. I feel that it should shine and show that pride you spoke of. Just a thought. Great work!
