Hi David

Very good sharpness for a handheld shot, with an excellent shallow dof & realistic colours. Nice backlighting on the water drops. Tfs!

Hey Dave, this is beautiful.

It's a lovely image showing the flower off so prettily. They usually hang their heads down and are hard to photograph in the garden - so well done on this capture.

There are many different colours now - some different tones of green, burgundy, deep pink, dull pink, cream and these pink tipped ones - nice one!

Hello David,

Mmm! This is smashing!
I love the way it is positioned at the top of the frame and looks downwards over the green abd the buds! Great composition!
Lovely sharp focus at the focal point and excellent textural details.

I think this is what we call a Christmas Rose. It doesn't really matter, a rose by any other name ...!

Have a great weekend,
Bev :-)

Winter Rose, Christmas Rose, and I've heard it called the Lenten Rose.
Beautiful shot David, great composition. Love the water droplets on top of the flower.

Beautiful macro shot, delicate and elegant and quite outstanding in this category by the simple but difficult fact that it manages not to be kitschy.

Hey David,
I really like the vertically off center compostion here, really makes this shot special.
The tech work and technique is good as always but, for me, the composition really makes this one.
Good work.
TFS,
Wilt

Hello David,
Christmas roses have a magic about them and you have displayed it so well here.Gorgeous soft colours and detail.
They are hard to photograph as they tend to hang their heads--but you managed very well.
Well presented. A treat!

Hello David

What a wonderful capture of this winter rose.. We have turned the calendar and we are heading in to Autumn! Very sad to leave summer behind again!


I really love the drops and details on your rose!

This is how a flower picture should look like - perfect. Good DOF, no OE on the whites, a touch of pink - lovely.
In the past we also had them in our garden and they really stood out flowering when no flower did.
Thanks for reassuring me that no winter lasts forever, because it is getting awfully dark here in the mornings - winter is on our doorstep.

TFS

Excellent shot, clear, nicely composed. I like how the light catches the white petals and the water drops. Filling the frame with this macro view worked well, too. Bravo:)
