I bought a bunch of gorgeous apricot roses and decided to use one of them for a pic – I usually take my pics with the rose still on the bush. I am so very pleased with how this has come up – it glows! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
Thank you for looking – all comments and criticisms are welcome and appreciated.

MrMelacca
You must be happy with this picture clarkey, a very professional shot. The glow looks electric giving the impression that it may even be dangerous to touch
clarkey replied
I appreciate your beautiful compliment very much, Mr Melacca. Thank you for enjoying it enough to add it to your Favourites. I appreciate that priviledge, too.
I am very happy with this one, it came up so much better than anything I had envisioned. I appreciate your high praise in considering it a professional shot, as I’m nowhere near being a pro. The glow is what really makes this shot – the rose is one of the ones I’ve posted in the last few days – all called Apricot something as, being a bunch, there is no way of knowing the name of the rose. Rather surprsingly for a bunch of roses, they have a lovely perfume, too. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Absolutely beatiful
clarkey replied
Thank you very much for your lovely compliment, Ken, I’m pleased you enjoyed it. I made a calendar out of some of the roses I used Fractalius on, I’d love it if you had a look!
Margot Kiesskalt
Stunning image – really beautiful!

I always appreciate your beautiful compliments, Margot, and I’m very glad you enjoyed this one.
David Craker P...
excellent image and aren’t fractals and madelbrot sets great
clarkey replied
I appreciate your lovely compliment, very much, David. This pic was made with Fractalius, which is magic, but that’s the only “fractal” in this pic. Although I love genuine fractals, my brain thinks numbers come from another dimension. LOL, sometimes, I can’t even make the computer add 2 + 2! I don’t have much luck with fractal programs, I just fiddle with the defaults and sometimes get lucky. I’m glad you enjoyed this.
Antanas
lovely work
clarkey replied
I appreciate your lovely comment, Antanas. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Stephen Thomas
Fire! Fire! My monitor is on fire! Wait a minute, it just picture of beauty bright glowing rose. Great work!
clarkey replied
LMAO, it is bright, isn’t it, Stephen? I wonder if I can combine a dark red rose and this one, then use Fractalius, it might be a little closer to fire! Only problem is, I don’t have a red one similar in shape to this. I appreciate your very beautiful compliment, Stephen. I’m glad it gave you a big smile. Thank you for enjoying it.

Tracy Tammaro
This is about the best glow I have ever seen come off a rose in a pic. It is just angelic. Your work, I assume, is amazing to catch a striking pose like this! THanks for posting it.
Tracy Tammaro
PS…I really don’t know anything about photography but I enjoy the photos. I have a daughter in college right now with a photo major. She wants her own business. I have told her about this site and will show her around it when she comes home next. I think stuff like this pic will amaze her. Keep up the amazing work. I enjoy looking at it.
clarkey replied
Thank you for your lovely compliment, Tracy, I appreciate it very much.
This is the original photo from which I made this pic – as you can see it’s nowhere near as bright! The brightness is due to the plugin I used (Fractalius):
Thank you for enjoying this one, I hope your enjoys the site and decides to join, too. It’s a wonderful place to spend time, looking, learning and passing info along.

Heide Hoffmann
Wonderful colours. fractalius is such a great tool – but you still have to have a good picture in the first instance. I really like it how you treated this rose.
clarkey replied
Hi Heide, thank you for visiting and leaving me such a wonderful compliment on this, one of my favourites. Fractalius is indeed a wonderful tool, and, yes, you still need a good photo to start off with. I was fortunate in this instance that my original pic was good enough to give Fractalius a good foundation to work with. LOL, unfortunately, I forgot to copy the setting on this one, so, I can’t repeat it! I’m very glad you enjoyed it. Have a great day.
