Raindrops and Roses by maggiemae

Raindrops and Roses

This is the winter rose and this is winter rain! I left that bit above the flowers for that reason.

The only processing I did was to put the white vignette around it!
Beautiful

@carolinedreams @hollandcrew It is actually the first shot that I have done using the flash! It was so dark and I wanted to bring out the lovely white colour of the flowers!

Wonderful job, maggiemae. I really love that vase. Your processing is beautiful.

@yonnie @paintdipper @pixiefsu50 - the only processing I wanted to do was put the white vignette around it as the flash took care of everything else! Thanks for commenting!
August 20th, 2012  
@maggiemae Wow--that makes the shot even more incredible. Way to go.
August 20th, 2012  
@deburahiru @catwoman2 didn't process this except for the white vignette. I put the vase high up on a glass stand, against thw window! The sky was white so the background came out white!

What a great composition, here - we call the hellebores Lenten Roses because they bloom right at the time of Lent here, always the first blooming flowers and sometimes peeking through the snow!

August 21st, 2012  
@cocobella I didn't over expose it Corinne- I just used a flash which is what I don't usually want to do! Thanks for your input!
August 21st, 2012  
@maggiemae ok ;) , the result is just great, I like it like that, I don't know why but those shots satured with light are very attractive to me ! Continue to use your flash ;)

Fav for me, too, Maggie. This is such a wonderful set-up, I thought at firs it was done in the processing until I read some of the comments. It's simply elegant and beautiful.
August 23rd, 2012  
thanks Sandie for the fav! That darker top bit is the surfeit outside the window which I couldn't hide so I left it as you can see the raindrops on it!
August 23rd, 2012
