Tools for the job...

All these and more are needed at pruning time in the rose garden. In the holster
is my Felco pruners, behind is the loppers and in front the Felco pruning saw
my kangaroo skin gloves need replacing before June-July they are falling apart
after 2 years of pruning. Missing are my arm protectors, the old clothes & me.

I could have used a close up of the group but liked
this shot better with the greenery included, what do you think?

Canon EOS 40D ,Tamron SP AF 90mm f/2.8
1/60s f/4.0 at 90.0mm iso400 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

I like the additional greenery, sets up the story. Looks like a serious bit of work. Great image.

Yep, I like this crop - the greenery gives the tools some context...good shot!
Mieke WA Minkjan30-Mar-2010 08:36
yes, the included greenery associates more with the task of pruning
pruning instruments very well captured

I hate gardening. A fine, but depressing picture. :)

You must love your gardening, it shows so well here!

You would need all of this, plus effective protective gear! Roses have such wicked thorns. Nice still life!
