Roses September 5

Evening light and a bouquet of lush orange-red and yellow-orange roses. I played with this one - posterizing, glowing, contrast and more - and then decided I couldn't improve on the natural beauty.

Are flowers any less special because you buy them for yourself? Who else knows better when you need something beautiful? :)

Hey, I love to buy roses. Now if I could just find a wife (or at least an appreciative woman)! This shot is gorgeous, by the way.

Nice, Donna. These are lovely.

Btw - my wife buys flowers for herself all the time.

...oh.

gorgeous.... and maybe more special when you get them for yourself.... at least the flowers get a garuntee of being appreciated

Donna .. aside from a perfect pastel pink rose, that color rose in your image is my favorite. I like the "filling the frame" with roses look.. nice light dappling off of them.
Here are the same exact ones as you have (bought by myself too...lol) only I kept the PS playing on them..http://www.pbase.com/image/28757772
