December??

Taken in the garden yesterday morning (last rose of summer?)



Here I've used a vignette followed by slight softenning and then applied a grey coloured glass filter. (Does this constitute a manip or just presentation?)

Rob, this is truly beautiful. Nicely captured and presented. The angles and shapes are really interesting up close.

Ditto on all points, Rob - that last one especially - somehow or other the water drops give the whole thing a lacey effect, and the colour is fabulous.

Bobby --you must live in heaven. No roses in December here in the middle of the continent. What a beautiful rose. It is perfect. Love the manip and the final close up. I am so jealous. All the white in our neighbor hood is frozen snow.

Very nice shots, Rob. I have to agree that the last one takes the prize.

Beautiful Rob, you've really captured the delicacy of the rose, and the colours are superb. The close-up is extra special.
Kate.
