Roses

The buds start off a deep magenta and then change to purple, lilac, and an almost grey/lilac as it fades. It was much too windy to photograph outdoors so I set it up indoors and spent a couple of happy hours taking photos and then trying out various crops and effects.
I decided I would put a droplet of ‘rain’ on the petals but after it wouldn’t stay where I wanted it to, I just let it fall where it may.
I quite liked this ‘effect’ which is called ‘Deep Forest’ it gives it a depth of colour with a more hazy look.
This is a more ‘faded’ bloom which I set on a mirror tile …
see you next time with another rose, Eileen
Cherry Ripe

I can’t claim originality for the idea of using forks in a still life image, but I tried to do my own thing with them ….
Hope you liked them … I hope to show some Roses next time, Eileen
