Hi Freinds at TrekLens
My Rose Series is still on. This one too is from Portland Rose Garden. When I found this Rose that was bursting with soft pink petals, I looked at various angles. But nothing seemed to be appealing. And then I suddenly saw as if these new petals were trying to burst out with pride...and that was it, and here we are!
Exposures were the same with 80ASA [ F/2.8 and 1/160 sec. ] This is the only shot that I took. Not much of PP work other than this border and some 5% saturation and -5% reduced brightness.  For the border, I picked out the rose with buds using magnetic lasso into another layer. Going back to the background layer, I used the Marquee tool and cropped into another layer as you see. I have three layers now. Going back to the background layer, using saturation adjustment, I completely 'Darkened' all the way. Now the last this was to go back to the second (mid) layer, I double clicked and in the layer Style dialog box, I chose Stroke with white color.  That was all. [I don't like using layer actions or filter software, because that strips me of from my control].
Thanks again for encouraging me to continue with this series.
David

You have beautiful roses David. Love the series and your informative notes. I've learned a lot. This is lovely with the pale pink and deeper pink combined and with the two-tone buds. And I like the over the frame look. Great work.
