MAGENTA MORNING

It would probably take less typing to simply note when a photo I post here is not from the same years old folder :-D. You know, the one "Magenta Morning" (9-13-10 10002e) is from and so many other recent posts. Anyway, I've never been happy with the angle from which I shot these roses. In my defense, that little bud between the two foremost open roses showed up much more "live" and I'd thought it would balance the arrangement. I finally settled with the effect of overall outlining in Photoshop as I so like the color of these roses. They've been difficult roses to photograph over the seasons, due to how tightly they grow in a bunch, and to the bush's placement in the garden. (There's only so much Photoshopping I'm willing to do on a realistic photo. Abstracts? Well, that's a completely different story.) But I do keep trying to get decent pix of them, and not only due to their delicious color. They were planted in memory of a woman I liked very much.
