Inside the rose

Struggling for good subjects, so went back to flowers !!!!

It's a long time since I did a rose so here is a close up study.

I don't know if this works as I don't know if there is a real point of interest to catch your eye

Hand held with my Panasonic TZ7 on macro setting

It's a very subtle and delicate rose and the petals seem to have a bit of noise on them, (the petals are quite rough rather than smooth, so maybe that added to the noise)

It's a soft image, but the softness is what appeals to me in this shot

[Pat Knowles]

Yes such soft folds ..lovely shadows & curves !

[Tina Mac]

Lovely!

[Kerri]

Very pretty

[Brenda G]

So soft and pretty! I love the color!

[patsyj]

So delicate and pretty..nice close up.

[Judith Greenwood]

It's a beauty - lovely subtle colours and perfect petals.

[Sue Wilde]

You''re struggling for subjects...I'm totally out of time...love the softness of the colours.

[Robin Mersh]

Yes, it works!

[Phil Howcroft]

@happypat thanks Pat, it was a hard shot to take as the rose was above my head about 6feet above the ground

[Phil Howcroft]

@tinatmmc thank you very much tina

[Phil Howcroft]

@kerristephens thanks kerri

[Phil Howcroft]

@guifam thank you brenda, a tricky shot to take

[Phil Howcroft]

@patsyjphillips patsy i really like doing flower macros now, i never did them before my 365

[Phil Howcroft]

@judithg cheers Judith, flowers are easy fillers for the 365 :)

[Phil Howcroft]

@swilde thanks Sue, time is also a problem for me too !!! the softness seems to work

[Phil Howcroft]

@robinmersh cheers robin, glad it works for you........on the subject of working, it was a hard slog debugging and unravelling the complex apps at work today !

[Tashy]

beautiful Phil, looks velvety with those soft shadows.

[Phil Howcroft]

@tashy thanks tashy , nice word..velvety :)

[Robin Mersh]

@phil_howcroft It is sort of rewarding though eh?

[Frances Chaloner]

Beautiful! I love the softness goes so well with the pale delicate colours of the rose - fav

[Allison Williams]

This is so lush and not a blemish on the rose. Well done!

[Cherrill]

Just found this! Gorgeous! Never would have guessed the way you had to photograph this.....it coud be in avase or bouquet. So smooth and creamy...wonderful and a fave for me!
