Rose

Gallery: FloraPosted September 6, 2013106 views7 comments

I liked the way the rose is somewhat framed by the green going up each side. The openings in the wooden fence allows the green from the field behind it to show through. Interested in your comments about the green lines.

Think the green lines distract rather than enhance... they look too much like stems. The rose itself is beautiful.

John - I quite like the Rose and its color.

For me personally the stems do not add much to the aesthetics but lets see what others have to say .

John, I too think that the two green lines do not add anything to the photo. The rose is so beautiful for lights, color and transparences that doesn't stand anything useless. A 5:4 frame could cut one line and enlarge the splendid flower.
Take care.

John: Really good effort in challenging light conditions. I don't mind the frame on the right but the white sunlit edge on the left does bug me a little. >=))>
