a rose from the garden.. by quietpurplehaze

a rose from the garden..

..a few peaches and a bottle of white

Why do we need peaches which resemble donuts?
A lovely soft photo. I love the clarity of the rose with the softness of the rest of it. I agree about the peaches - never fails to amaze me what we get next!

Terrific composition with the lovely rose. I have seen these unusual peaches in the shops are they tasty?

A lovely shot, Hazel.

Quite, I'd rather have a doughnut that resembles a peach!
August 18th, 2017  
Nice composition and focus
August 18th, 2017  
Ha ha, yes! I have always wondered about doughnut shaped peaches - shouldn't they be round and furry? Though I guess they taste the same!

@casablanca @wendyfrost

Yes, they taste the same as regular peaches -but I guess there is a bigger ratio of stone to flesh!!

wonderful DOF .... I've seen but not tasted the doughnut shaped peach.
August 18th, 2017  
Don't know, but ate my first one today!!! Photo is fav!!

Peaches that resemble doughnuts? Sounds like an Eddie Izzard sketch.

@peada

Peter, they are ring donut shaped peaches - bizarre.
August 18th, 2017  
A lovely still life. I find the flat shaped peaches easier to eat but they are very short on flavor and tend to be dry.
August 18th, 2017  
Sounds like a good combination For
August 18th, 2017  
Really like your composition with the rose in focus and the rest to tempt us! Fav

Someone somewhere will have decided donut peaches is what everyone wanted! 🍑 Hope you enjoyed your wine and peaches though.

I love peaches but the quality of them has been so varied this year. We have some large rosy peaches in the bowl butbthey are awful, dry & tasteless, so disappointing. The donut ones can also be beautiful of dry & going rotten before they go soft! Yours look perfect & the composition is very pretty!
August 18th, 2017  
The softness is so lovely...Did you use selective focus in processing this?
August 18th, 2017  
@granagringa

No I don't know about selective focus in processing. I just focussed on the rose when I took the shot.

Oh my sister grows those donut peaches - they are YUM!!

@gigiflower

That's the funniest Sam - I never thought of anyone growing these - like little children who think that eggs come in six-packs, I thought they were only available in supermarkets. As my dear Auntie Betty used to say, 'I am nothing if not mad!!'

@quietpurplehaze Being mad sure is a good thing!!! I'll admit that I do find it a bit strange eating those donut peaches when I'm at her farm.........they are delicious so I just close my eyes and think I'm eating a "normal" peach :)
