Breathing Rose

But friendship is the breathing rose
With sweets in every fold.

@ludwigsdiana Thank you Diana. I tried to use picmonkey to edit a bit but its not working! It did not work last night either. :(

My favorite color of rose. Very nice photo and quote, too.

@mbrutus Thank you Marshall. This is unedited and I wanted to tweak it a bit. Picmonkey would not cooperate tonight...must be on strike due to the heat! :)

@gardenfolk Try photo shop, you would need to buy it, and it is expensive but well worth the outlay.

@peterday Many thanks, Peter. We do have photoshop express but I have not tried it yet because I usually post straight from my iPhone, which I use to take all my photos. I have a long way to go and a lot to still learn. Thank you for the follow!

@gardenfolk Lovely as it is. What would you like to do with it when you edit?

[CC Folk]

@mbrutus I do not do much editing except for picmonkey. I like to try different things to see if I like the look more. When the site goes down, I lose that option. Sometimes, I can either improve the exposure or soften or remove a few flaws.

[Sandy Z W]

So sensual. Love it.

[Jessika Panteleios]

Wonderful composition and colour. Love the soft feel to this.
