The Rose

It's a while ago since my last upload. The pictures from this summer's trip are still not printed :-(
This is an older picture I took from an English "David Austin" rose in our garden. It has the loveliest perfume a rose can have. I darkened the background to bring out the peach color of the rose and the highlight on the leaf.

Canon AV1, 135mm

    Thank you all for your nice words...
    @Jutta: your rose-picture inspired me to upload this one.
    I must admit that I like your version better; mine is not so sharp and slightly overexposed.
    Thanks for dropping by,
    Robert

    Nice effect, the flowers look simply great!
    The colors might not be very brilliant however it never reduces a bit in performing how beautiful these flowers are. :)
    Best regards
