Rose

[Peter McCullough]

As it was Ishbel's birthday this weekend I got all romantic and bought her a few different coloured bunches of beautiful roses.
I shot this with the Carl Zeiss 21mm and very heavily cropped the image, I love the delicate soft folds on the rose.

@ahmad bhai - ahmad, are you aware of the new feature where you can draw someone's attention by typing the @ sign, followed without a space by their name. As you do so, their name will appear as if by magic (Hamish is so clever) and you just click on it. That person will get an email alerting them to the message.

wOw, all the replies are greatly appreciated, thank you all very much, very inspiring!

I'm surprised regards the amount of detail and this was a HUGE crop from a wide angle image.
