So here I present to you... Some roses and some romantic candles as a Valentine's Day gift. I didn't do much PP work-
Add a bit of saturation

Little bit of levels

Hope you like it! Have a great Valentine's Day and have fun with your loved ones. :)

Great lightning and colors.
Clever writing colors matching the position of the candles.

Oh...
Think, I first have to knock your door, Leanne, before I can enter your bedroom, sorry.!
But, now I'm in, looks lovey. Very romantic.
Pitty, the music sounds too silent, so have to sing a song by head mself.
'Killing me softly', la la la.
Happy valentine dear Leanne.
Best wishes from Jan

Hello Leanne

Very suitable V-day post with such soft mood of candlelight and flowers.

Your creative shot here is well thought and executed. Although I find the view is dark for normal case, it suits the romantic application here.

TFS, bill

Hello Leanne,
A very soft image that depicts romance and love, not only through the lighting but of the roses too.
Happy Valentines to You Too...

Hi dear friend,
nice experiment and posting for Valentine's Day.
I like the soft low light - seems so romantic.
Thanks for sharing it with us.
Happy Valentine!

:) soon

Hi Leanne

I like the symmetry of the 2 candles & the dried flower arrangement. Good light management & sharpness. Tfs!

Great lighting to good effect here - a sort of dark stance on the whole Valentine's thing - most people posting luscious bright flowers but this works really well as the anti-valentine,
TFS, Neil :)

Hi Leanne,

Great night shot . .
Lovely presentation . . I like the way you compose it . .

Happy Valentine to you . .

Tfs,

Lovley management of the light Leanne. You have a very romantic mood. I really like how you have shown the soft colours of the flowers and have so much detail with so little light. As always your framing and presentation are very professional. Happy Valentine’s to you.
Warm Regards
Wanda
