Wake Rose
Uploaded: February 09, 2006
f/16, 1/125s, 100 mm (35 mm equiv 159 mm), ISO 200, indoors in light from window. This is a rose from Florence's wake. It was a white rose but the backlit petal looked lightly pink. I applied a low opacity waterpaint filter. I know roses are overdone, but I like it. I am working on a TINY screen, though, so it may look terrible on a big screen! If so, I apologize!

Hey Mary - this comes through perfectly on the big screen - beautiful coloring and tones and I like the close-up. #389668Mary N C. Taitt February 10, 2006
Thank you, Mary. I think I need to get a laptop with a real screen for when I'm traveling, if I want to do BP when I'm away from home, LOL! Thanks for your kind words. Mary :-) #2402253Cyn Valentine February 10, 2006
