happy accident...

...or maybe not. Having learnt a bit about my cameras, I don't often use auto but I did for this shot of a mauve rose in the walled garden at Mottisfont.

The camera settings seem rather bizarre but I didn't mind the unexpected result.

When a shot turns out this well, you should claim you planned the whole thing very carefully. Something was guiding your eye and fingers after all. Gorgeous!
