I find it hard-pressed not to take one of these every time I see a rose.

Cheers!

Hey Jeff,

This is really cool. I like the low contrast look.

I am not a huge flower shooter, but when it comes to roses, I can't help shooting them!

I like it! I have access to a lot of rose gardens in the Portland area and do shoot them (esp. in the rain) but have never really zoned in on this perspective. Nice.

Thanks Jim! I felt a less-contrasty look would feel more like a sketch or pencil drawing. I wanted softness to convey here.

Gracias Alan! Rain, in Portland?! Never!! Sounds to me like you need to get up close and personal with some of those roses because I think I'd like to see how beads of water would add extra flavor to a shot like this.

Report back!

Hehe - I have a rather large stash of what I call Rainy Roses

I have posted one of them on here but haven't dug deep into my collection so far.

That's a very pretty shot, Alan! That usually a difficult color for sensors to handle but you did a really good job with it. Pops nice against the darker greens.
