This is one of my favourite photos and is a re-post of a previous upload. The name of this wonderful rose is “Oklahoma”, it has a beautiful sultry perfume, too. This is one of the rare times I’ve managed to get my camera to shoot it’s colour correctly – I’ve just about pulled my hair out trying, and the air has often been blue!
All comments are appreciated.
Tripod-mounted Pentax K100D, Sigma 28 – 80 mm lens. Shot in Pentax RAW (PEF), converted to a .psd and, after enlarging, converted to a .jpg for uploading.
That is superb – beautiful light and colour – I can smell the perfume. :-)
Lol, depending on which way the wind is blowing, you can smell the perfume either as you walk up the driveway or out the front door! I appreciate your lovely comment, Margot, I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Stunning beauty …and a marvelous photo!!! VERY well taken!!!
Thank you, Ken, I appreciate your lovely comment very much. I’m pleased you enjoyed it.

perfect capture !!
And Good Morning to you, too, Joe! I hope you have a wonderful day. I appreciate your lovely comment on this photo, it’s one of my favourites. Thank you.
Lol, I had a pic buzzing away in my head dirving me up the wall, and I was damned if I was going to give up on this, but, ooooooooh, mumma, it took a huge number of shots before I got it. I’m glad you enjoyed it, Kelly, it makes all the frustration worthwhile.
Lol, I think this one would have to go close to being the one which took the most shots to get what I wanted! I’m pleased you enjoyed it. Thank you for a lovely comment, Gena, I appreciate it.
That’s wonderful complimetn, BCP, thank you so much. I’m very glad you enjoyed it.
