HI peeps

I am sorry I have not been about this last couple of days. Things have got a bit manic and I have had no time at all.

I took this image back in September I did consider removing the rose at the bottom of the image but I actually like the balance it gives to the bud.

Framed and resized in photofilter.

I am going to have to use stock images for a while now as I wont have much time to get out and about. After another eventful weekend with the locoal yobs I have now decided I am moving house.. so stress central here I come :-)

No Only kidding I am not going to stress on things but I will have lots to do for a while.

I hope you all had a good weekend. Its been chucking it with rain here all day so I hid in the kitchen and did some more baking.

Thank you for taking the time to view my image and read my waffle

TTFN Smurfie

P.S.this is so strange! my dad who lives the other side of the countryand doesnt post on here very often just called me and told me to check the gallery.. his image is next to mine..how spooky is that. If you get a moment please do check his image daig13.

Hi Helen
Great roses, beautiful colours, nice framing.
Your right about the weather to-day, awful, did have a couple of bright moments, one was having a glass of wine.
Have a good evening
Gil

Hi Smurfie H,
Nice shot, I think you were right to leave the bottom rose, the colours, light, sharpness and water droplets are perfect and finished with a nice border. Sorry to hear the yobs have struck again, hope you find somewhere soon.
Regards Andy

Hi Helen, it can be hard deciding what to crop out of an image, but I think showing the lower rose does look fine to me. The little brown marks on the petals could have been cropped off I think, but the beauty of 'mother and child' is quite touching. Super colours and details...
Bravo!
Janice

Good evening Helen.
Bit late for you maybe, as you have to work to morrow?
Excellent rose portrait you created here.
The only real colour the rose shoud be.
Will see if I can find your dads upload.
Good night to you.
Jan

Hello Helen,

Yes, another red image!
I love this one! I have to agree with you about the partial flower! It does help balance the whole! Perfect sharpness and nicely saturated colours! The raindrops add that extra freshness!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Good morning Helen,

This red rosebud is just beautiful and I share your opinion that the rose on the bottom on which the focus is not, does provide balance in the picture.
Lovely texture and warm colour, just what we need.

Hola, Helen: No comments. You already have a lot with this excellent photo. Just "thanks" for your fine work.

Hi Helen! Another lovely red added to the theme. Can I put all my reds in this theme? :) It's hard to shoot red flowers but I like this one. The added sparkle makes this more attractive.
Cheers!

Hello !
Wonderful close up ! Good point of view, it makes the picture vey original. Details are amazing.

Hi Helen, well this is a winner for sure, and apparently everyone else has thought so to. I agree, the bottom rose does add some balance. Water droplets always add a nice touch to flower shots and this looks really beautiful Helen. Some of the droplets have a really nice sparkle from the reflecting light...was this natural or done in PS? The reds are a blood red, very charming...and the back ground color is very complimentory.

SPLENDID!!!!!!!!!!
