sweet rose

For the black and white challenge

Flowers for Mum, two years on.


Inevitably, after a couple of days away, I have got behind. I'm working through but it will take me a few days to catch up.

Post script: Thanks to David for the edit suggestion which means this rose has a new look.

lovely touch of light on the edges of the petals

Love the light on the petals. Perfect for the challenge.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I love how the light is bringing out the edge of the petals. Beautiful capture.

[FotoBlah]

Beautiful. Eye catching because of the less than typical rose photo.

[David]

Very nice. The light on the petal edges makes the shot for me.. I'd crop off the LH third so there's no distraction from that.. just a matter of personal taste

[belinda]

lovely in black and white. I find black and white really highlights the details of plants and flowers.

Pleasing mono close-up...

@yrhenwr you are right. I was hanging on to the small leaf, but it wasn't needed. Just cropped and tweaked in picmonkey.

[Catherine Otley]

Just beautiful! We usually revel in the colours of roses, so to see one in B & W shows off its wonderful construction. Great also on black.

[Ann Williams]

The light on the edges of the rose petals really brings it to life. Well done Helen.

@kali66 @moonmtn @olivetreeann @fotoblah @adayinmallacoota @ivan @redandwhite @flowerfairyann many thanks to all. The light on the edge of the petals was a gift.

[Saxa van Eijnsbergen]

Love the light shining through the petal and the processing. I can imagine you miss your mum. Sweet of you to remember her with this rose.

[Suzanne]

Lovely swirls, I like how the light has caught the tips of the petals

[Francoise]

looks sort of liquid

[Gayle]

Gorgeous! Love the touch of light on the edges.

[Stephanie]

How pretty the way the sunlight shines on the edges and a lovely picture for your mum Helen.
