    Now that is a stunning DOF…luv the colour of the flower here, really stands out from the background. Hey & those raindrops are top accesories.

  • Rosalie Dale IPA replied

    I was pleasantly surprised with this Bot – took it last month and only just got back to the file! Who knows what else I’ll find. Thank you for the encouragement.

  • Hans Kawitzki

    Hans Kawitzki

    What a beautiful striking flower and so masterly presented,have you used a macro lens here ?

  • Rosalie Dale IPA replied

    My camera doesn’t have a macro lens Hans – pretty basic!! It was one of those magic shots that happen from time to time. Thanks so much for your encouragement.

  • georgieboy98

    georgieboy98

    Wonderful photo and an excellent story to go with it. I agree with what you said to Hans about lack of macro lens – they are sold for our camera but we have to have an adaptor as well and that’s when things start to get fiddly. Like you I have found I get the best results from about 15” away and the lens and sensor are so good we can crop all we like. Peter.

  • Rosalie Dale IPA replied

    Peter the R1 is such a great workhorse! It is full of surprises. Thanks for the encouragement my friend.

    G’day Rosalie,

    You certainly picked perfect conditions to produce this perfect photograph of a perfect subject.
    The waterdrops are not overdone, the lighting and exposure is excellent, the bokeh is really good and the focus and sharpening superb.
    In its current format it would make a great card but as a floral study I feel a square crop is the way to go here.
    The colours are absolutely wonderful – I mean the blue is sooooo blue! 8-)
    Great work that girl.

    Beautiful work Rosalie, great colors, love that blue and the bokeh is wonderful. The out-of-focus plants on the right add to the isolation of the flower in my mind, beautifully done!!

    Makes me cry out, reflexively – something from that amazing bundle of sympathetic nerves in the solar plexus—when happening upon such exquisite, perfect beauty!
    You rendered this so elegantly, it’s sweetly breathtaking! Cheers!

  • Rosalie Dale IPA replied

    Rich it had a similar effect on me in that firstly it was a serendipitous shot – not a planned and calculated one but something that caught the corner of my eye so I turned and took it without a lot of fuss – and secondly the result in camera had me going back time after time to check that it indeed was as eye catching as I thought it was!

    Thank you for your very supportive comments and encouragement. Very much appreciated.

  • Richard VanWart

    Richard VanWart

    And I love that, being uncertain of the flower’s more formal identification, you titled it in tribute to Dr. Fraser—actually, “Lilian Fraser Beauty” sounds just right …

  • David Lade

    A gorgeous flower portrait. Love your work Rosalie!

  • Rosalie Dale IPA replied

    You are kind David. So pleased you like this – it was a real gem, being an unexpected bonus at the end of a time of shooting (isn’t that often the way?!) ... a final ‘throw away’ shot!
