Not from the garden... by vignouse

Not from the garden...

I have a feeling that this week may turn into a celebration of Spring, of new growth, of new beginnings. It was too windy to photograph in the garden today - macro photography in the wind is somewhat of a masochistic exercise - so I contented myself with making some images of a large bunch of roses Mrs S brought in from the supermarket... this is one of them.

Pops well viewed on black.
Beautiful focus and detail. Love the simplicity.

This is beautiful -- the lighting/contrast, and the great solid background work well together.

Lovely colors and detail. I love the way the color pops against the black.

Wait a minute... this is not the same flower! I like it, too... but you changed, right?

Absolutely gorgeous.

@mamamayerle @graemestevens @lindasees @taffy @akirk Hi folks - shortly after posting I realised that I had not chosen the image I intended for this album so I quickly posted the right one. Not quickly enough though as you five had already commented... gosh you're quick! Sorry, but it's still the same rose you commented on... just a different view.

Superb shot! Awesome detail and focus! The gorgeous color really does pop on that black background!

@akirk You're too quick Amy... see my comment above. I changed the photo, added the explanatory comment... but you had already revisited before I posted it!

Lol! I wondered what happened. Still a great shot.

Sweet looking rose, the way the petals are curled at the top!

@taffy Thank you Taffy, you've restored my faith in my judgement ;-). I wanted the other image for my 'A Year of Days' diary album but I got my uploads in a twist! It's nice of you to take the trouble to come back.

This is a beautiful capture, of the perfection of the rose. Lovely image.

Love the detail. One of the best thing they did is add flowers to the supermarket. Hope you get outside for some too.
