...another new dawn

Posted by ordinaryimages (Kentucky Bluegrass, United States) on 24 May 2009 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

In May 07 I received two laughable spindly rose bushes by web order. Now they cover an 8x6 foot trellis and have hundreds of buds.
I get some PM regarding technique etc. I shoot late evening light, tripod, mirror lock-up, cable release, +1/3 EV with straight forward conversion in Lightroom, seldom crop. On this edit I darkened the Magenta in the Grayscale Mix to add natural contrast to the bud.
