Like the lighting and the shadows on the petals. Simple, but presented beautifully.

Pink, green, and some yellow. A nice palette of colors, Ian. Nice comp and a good exposure.

A softness that is not easily achieved in light strong enough to leave shadows. Brilliantly done! Excellent comp and perfect dof.

Lovely look at these "old fashioned" roses. The gentle shadows of the stamen are a neat addition.

A lovely group of roses, Ian. Beautiful pink, great clarity. I especially like the shadows on the petals.

The square format works really well with this beautifully captured grouping!
