A Glass of Rosé (Vintage Helios 44-2 58mm lens)

I said to my wife "Don't say I never give you anything . Do you want a glass of Rosé ?"

The rose was from a bush in our garden. This flower was drooping a little and needed to be cut. So here it is. It smells rather nice.

Shot at f2.8 (I think it was) with a vintage Helios 44-2 2/58 lens.

It is rather a lovely vintage lens.

@jackies365 Jackie thank you for your kind words. I collect old vintage lenses and shoot with them on my Sony A6000 . It is great bringing life again into an old lens . I get some great results too 😀📷

Fav. For the beautiful shot. Your words gave me a good laugh. So for Mother's Day you gave your wife a rose which you were about to cut and throw away? My God! Well I didn't give mine even that, haha.
