Rose of the night

I do love black backgrounds for so many different types of photography. In the middle of the afternoon in our garden, the darkness is not there so this is an experiment.
Could be good on the Black.

1. Watched some good programmes on TV on a lazy afternoon with grey skies.
2. Must get out and do some de-heading - the roses might go on.
3. Big, huge seedless white grapes!

FAV absolutley gorgeous and successful experiment!

Try freezing those grapes for a refreshing treat

[Maggiemae]

@grammyn Never thought of that - wouldn't they go all mushy? Like strawberries do!

[JackieR]

Fave!! I too love black backgrounds!

[Skip Tribby - ​🖖]

Beautifully composed and captured! 𝔽̶𝔸̶𝕍̶❕̶❕̶❕̶​

@maggiemae don't let them thaw eat them frozen and they won't get mushy

[amyK]

Absolutely great on black! Well done.

[Maggiemae]

@grammyn Goodnessssss! I pop of sweet iciness!

[Marnie]

You got the black well, maybe a little radial filter dodge on the rose would be good?

[Maggiemae]

@golftragic radial filter dodge from what app?

[Marnie]

@maggiemae LightRoom. If you don't use that, just use a dodge from whatever you do use.

[Marnie]

@maggiemae The rose is beautiful, BTW.

[Maggiemae]

@golftragic I can do it with picmonkey but that just pales the colour!

[Harry J Benson]

good low–key presentation

[Taffy]

Lovely low key scene.

[Yao RL]

at its most seductive time.

[Diana]

A wonderful image, did you have to pick the Rose for your experiment, or just cover the surrounding areas ;-)

[Maggiemae]

@ludwigsdiana No, I photographed the rose au naturally, then layered it on to a black background, Diana!

[Valerie Chesney]

This capture is divine......

[Peter Day]

..I like this very much, well done.

[Lou Ann]

Well it’s lovely!

[Ann Williams]

You've produced a dark and mysterious photo here.

[bkb in the city]

Beautiful

[Daisy Miller]

Beautiful shot. A fav

[Sally Ings]

Stands out beautifully from the dark background.

[Casablanca]

I agree - black is always a super background. Nice shot

[Bep]

Instant fav!

[Pat Knowles]

We like your #3 GT, no pips so easy to eat! I like black backgrounds too, they show flowers especially well.

[Gillian]

It looks great on black.

[Islandgirl]

Very pretty on black!

[Clare Gadsby]

yes rather lovely on black

[katy]

@maggiemae so you tried it?!

[Maggiemae]

@grammyn No - they won't last long enough to make the hard and cold journey to the freezer!

[katy]

@maggiemae LOL!

[Helen Jane]

A highly successful experiment. What a beautiful rose capture.
