Oh, how beautiful! Nostalgia reigns! The rose so clear and the music blurred, I so want to see the words that I invent them in my head. Fantastic! :) Tony.
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
I’m getting into a rut aren’t I Tony!!! Actually the music IS The Rose – some pics actually showed the words … I only took over 200 and ended up with maybe half a dozen I can use … seems to be par for the course. Thanks for the encouragement!
Peter Zentjens
Beautiful still life Rosalie, I really like those tones and as you can figure, I have a weak spot for Nostalgia. :)
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
Oh yes I like your nostalgic images also Peter – enviable shots. Thank you for your kind comment – much appreciated.

Excellent, like it.
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
Ta Warren – a lot of going in circles with the processing trying to get it to do what I wanted .. there is more than one way to skin a cat! Never the same method twice.

The only nostalgia I ever seem to capture is when I take a self portrait. But you’ve got it licked with this one – it’s absolutely first class and a wonderful bit of PS-ing. I love it and it certainly puts a new light on dying roses. Peter

They do have a wonderful faded beauty Peter (the roses!!). Thanks for your visit.

Stunning Rosalie.
Dennis Gay
G’day Rosalie,
I much prefer this one as its simplicity makes for a less cluttered, better composition and the darker “stained” look is more effective.
A also feel that the rose could have been rotated a bit more clockwise so we could see the “face” of the flower with all its curves.
The lighting, exposure and processing have rendered a nice light painting and the tones and contrast are very good.

G’day Rosalie! Yet another of your masterpieces shooting to the top of the popularity charts! Simple, once again very evocative. This may have a slight edge, for me, over the “Faded Rose”.
