Nice , very creamy smooth chocolaty velvet feel. Love the red and yellows of the first one, I can almost taste whisky in the glass.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Rose and whisky? Hmm. Could be a winner...Thanks, Julian.

Rose and whisky? Hmm. Could be a winner...Thanks, Julian.

I am seeing the colours of a good malt. Along with the inevitable black spot?

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Well, you are an optimist, Julian. The glass was completely empty...apart from a rose...and a gazillion bosons...

 

[Chris Dodkin]

sumptuous look Rob - last roses of the summer?

 

[Rob MacKillop]

The last one, plucked from our garden. I do like dark reds...

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Two more. I just can't get over how beautiful this red is. Your appreciation of it might differ, but I love it.

 

[Beth Anthony]

beautiful, but they have a haunted feel to them.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

No 'buts' about it - beautiful AND haunted The poor thing is beyond reviving, and will be pressed soon in a book for later.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Fading fast...

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

All this green and red, Christmas colours. A bit early to be getting in the mood yet , if ever.. I like the contrast in the second between the soft focus and the inscription on the glass.
Works well.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Julian. Oh dear, you are first to mention the C word...

 

[Paul Lange]

Nice Rob, really nice. With all these roses shrouded in darkness I am starting to wonder if you have gone a bit Goth and started reading all these angst-ridden vampire books that seem to be so popular.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Na. I've just read Stephen Hawkins' autobiography, which is so short you could read it in an hour, but interesting nonetheless. What a life...

 

[Pete Askew]

Gorgeous and that red really is something else. Love the second and the last shots (a bit of Catholic symbology creeping in there?!).

 

[Rob MacKillop]

First Prize to Mr Askew! I didn't want to mention the Catholic symbology...it's something I've toyed with a couple of times. The red is the same colour of the vestments I used to wear as an alter boy...and the blood of Christ. I still remember the priest saying to my seven-year old self, "Put this on...the colour will always remind you of Christ's blood...which he shed because of YOUR sins". Little wonder I'm a born-again atheist!

 

[Keith Hollister]

Very, very nice, Rob. Love the dark mood and the color. Number 2 is probably my favorite, although that probably doesn't say much for my creativeness since it is the most traditional composition

 

[Glenn Clabo]

Once again...I missed these......but I'm glad I caught up. You are really nailing this Rob. Well done sir!

 

[Brian Moore]

I like this set very much, Rob. #2, 4 and 5.

4 and 5 say end of summer to me. 2 is just a beauty. What camera/lens?
