Soft Rose . . .
In taking a break from my dead rose head images, here’s one still in full bloom with just a hint of raindrops and the most exquisite subtle perfume. It is a shame we cannot convey smell via the internet!! Treated with a light gradient to keep it soft.

Beautifully photographed Rosalie. Swanes, now there is a place to get some gorgeous roses!
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
Recently all I could get were dead heads Lorraine! Normally there are masses of beautiful blooms. Hopefully when the rain stops, we’ll have some more beauties to shoot! Thanks for the visit Lorraine!
Anji Johnston
Dead or alive – every one tells its own story. Beautiful
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
You are right Anji and by now, this beauty is probably a ‘dead head’ and striking in its own right! Thank you for the favouriting – I am honoured.

Absolutely brilliant, exquisite capture, gorgeous rose indeed. Well found , it takes a special ‘nose’ to find them and then create a stunning angled capture.

Got nothing more add, only well done.
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
Just occasionally I manage to get that sweet spot with the focus and you can see every tiny vein in these roses. Thanks Warren for the visit and encouragement.

It is beautiful Rosalie. Very well treated..
EarthGipsy
Satin moments! Beautiful work :)
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
Ooooh I do like the ‘satin’ thought – does suit the petals – thank you!
Warren Williams
Must say the you hit that sweet spot, refer bck to those setting and always keep them in mind, even if yoy take a second shot with new settings. Like on the D80 the sweet ISO is 320, EV is -0.3 or -0.7 .It works for me 99% of the time.
Josie Jackson
Beautiful soft lighting Rosalie, a wonderful capture
Tom Gomez
