Bought some roses last weekend to shake the winter doldrums. This was taken inside on the dinning room table.

Pentax K-7, f/16, 8.0sec, ISO-200, Tamron 90mm macro.

Thanks for taking the time to look, C&C appreciated.

Regards,
Derek

I agree, the drops make this one work. Great colour...brings the passion out and sends the doldrums packing.

Wonderful Derek. The fg edge looks great with droplets and I like the bg edges slowly fading. And the reds are just right.

Outstanding use of lines and dof! Great color, and the drops are excellent accents.

Beautiful hues and light Derek. The only thing I might consider is taking the format pano and placing the droplets at the upper left power point. It's gorgeous as posted. I just like the droplets so much that I'd want to emphasize them.

Derek: A fantastic petal-scape and the drops are the icing on a very fine cake. Bravo! >=))>

Very beautiful DOF. Those droplets are very well done! I love that there are two, not just one and that they aren't the same size. Excellent way to brighten any day!

This beautiful photo let me dream about springtime. There is something poetic in this image, at least for me.
Take care.
