Beautiful roses Yildiz, but the Hygrangea is quite stunning - such delicate colours and textures, that's my fav

Magnificent red rose Yildiz.

[Greg Beetham]

Love your work Yildiz, the Roses are even better than ever, the red one is awesome for colour impact and the first one is a wow for me composition wise, I’ve always liked your Iceplant flowers too and very nicely photographed with the plane of focus so well placed, but as Birma says the Hydrangea has that little something extra with the delicate shades and the bouquet effect so well captured, thanks for taking the time.

Great work, Birma, as usual.
Nice one and Look forward to your new Tamron shots Dennis.
Greg, thank you for that "gentle nudge" to Yildiz. We certainly reaped the bonanza, from Bonsai to blooms. Thank you Yildiz.

With best regards,
Sury

Some quick pics to show what is coming out of the garden these days.

[Birma]

Thanks Sury

Wow Jbtaylor - what a great set of roses! Well done to the growers and the picture taker. I really like that first, backlit shot.

[jbtaylor]

Thanks Birma. Next time I will have to set up the tripod and remote release. I think it will get me the clarity that the subjects deserve.
Still trying to find that sweet spot between definition and smooth background.
The thanks should go to my wife. She labors so that these beautiful colors can be shared.

[Greg Beetham]

The garden must be looking great JBTaylor if those are anything to go by, very nice blooms.

Sury, thank you.

A little push indeed helps sometimes... Thank you, Greg.



Hi JBTaylor,

Gorgeous colours bouncing out of these frames yet again. Your lovely wife achieved her goal of creatin beauties out of rose bushes. All very lovely.


Thanks for sharing,

That's quite ok Yildiz, Sury what are friends for...
I just noticed I missed some nice miniature 'sunflowers' from Birma...how did I do that? they look fresh and full of life, I don't think I've seen the Oxeye Daisy before but they are nicely recorded there.

Hi Birma,

I think the daisy speaks for itself indeed.
Lovely and huge... but still pure and innocent.

Thanks for sharing.

Greg, is it because they were miniature 'sunflowers' that you missed them?
