Drooping Rose Pair

Gallery: FloraPosted October 12, 201237 views4 comments

Here is the second image of the drooping yellow roses from my post a few days ago.

I like both of them, but if you had to choose only one...

It's cropped a little but not much.

Rebel XTi, 70-200 f4L @ 93mm, 1/400 S, f4.0, hand held.
(My other post said I used a 200L prime. I forgot about 70-200 because I returned it for the 200.)

All comments welcome. I'm thick skinned.

First, I like the rework of the first, Brad. Very nice job on the repost. I also like this one. Difficult choice, but if I had to pick one, it would probably be this one by a hair.

Brad - Agree with Scott - while repost in the previous post was better this composition is more appealing than the previous one by quite a bit. I like how both the blooms enjoy good focus. Water drops again add much interest.

I like this more than the last one. Somehow having two flowers in the image is more appealing to me. Once again, the out of focus yellow spot in the background gives me a feeling of the flowers breathing. That's a cool effect, I like it.

Very nicely done, Brad ! Beautifully delicate colouring, good dof and a very satisfying comp. This definitely works a great deal better for me than the previous post.
