First Rose

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

We have had the backyard landscaped etc etc (and you reckon lens lust hits the wallet - sheesh!!). It has been a big few months.

Anyway, the first rose is out, woohoo.

Lovely Greg!

I should get out and water ours before Mum gets back. The heat has affected quite a few :(

Gregb,
Nice yellow rose! hope you can get more nice pics with all your arsenal, 4 days off should give you plenty of time.

kipper,
Do what your mum told :lol: otherwise you're in trouble :roll: especially when they come back, they see all their plants died and discover you're having fun with the "UFO" hidden somewhere under your bed :lol:

Sheeeesh Greg. Haven't you learnt anything about composition :twisted: The rose should be neat and in the middle and the bottom shouldn't be chopped off :wink:

But seriously...

Great pic Greg. Somehow I suspect there are more to come from the new garden. Only real quibble is that it seems a trifle dark to me.

If we end up under attack Greg it is all down to you. That crazy gun-totin' Texan in the White House got all fired up about the guy that tried to kill his daddy .... any idea what he'd do in tretibution for the plagiraism of his precious Yellow Rose of Texas?

Congratulations on the fine progeny and the lovely crisp family portrait.

Cheers,

Hopefully, he'll ride an armadillo off into the sunset.

Lovely image Greg, well exposed, well composed (except for the absent brick wall that Stubbsy neglected to mention) and a delight to observe.
