Abby's Rose

This red rose became a black rose, intentionally, when I created the B&W conversion in Silver Effects Pro. I've been re-watching NCIS every night and I thought of the character Abby Sciuto who loves black roses. This one's for you Abby!

Stunning capture with great bokeh. Nicely done in B&W.

Oh I love Abby! I've recently rewatched them too. Was it her birthday episode that gave you the idea? Great photo and story.!

[Esther Rosenberg]

Ha, sometimes the unexpected changes are the coolest! Nice editing.

@k9photo Thanks so much Kate... most appreciated!

@marlboromaam Thanks so much Maggie... I miss Abby too... I am enjoying watching NCIS again.

@monikozi Thanks... I look forward to seeing it.

@tiredpanda Thanks for your comments... Yes... the birthday episode had a lot of black roses... then Abby gave Tony a black rose bouquet... he didn’t know what to do with them.

@dutchothotmailcom Thanks so much Esther... I always have trouble getting the red roses to look natural... so glad I went B&W on this one!

@jernst1779 @haskar @fayefaye @valerina Thanks so much... I really liked the B&W so much better than the color version. I just got the Lensbaby... it is a very interesting lens... I think I’ll have fun playing around with it.

@jb030958 @onewing @spanner @jgpittenger @craftymeg @thewatersphotos @santina @tonygig Thanks so much for your comments and favs... I really appreciate it.

[Shutterbug]

I liked her too. Her replacement had a tough role to assume, but she is doing pretty well.

[KV]

@shutterbug49 I agree... the new one is quirky too and she is growing in the role.
