My dear, why hast thou left us high and dry?

A Red, Red Rose
BY ROBERT BURNS
O my Luve is like a red, red rose
That’s newly sprung in June;
O my Luve is like the melody
That’s sweetly played in tune.

So fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in luve am I;
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a’ the seas gang dry.

Till a’ the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi’ the sun;
I will love thee still, my dear,
While the sands o’ life shall run.

And fare thee weel, my only luve!
And fare thee weel awhile!
And I will come again, my luve,
Though it were ten thousand mile.

Lovely, well cropped, well thought out image and a great rose.

thankyou

Congrats Photonut!

beautiful, congrats !

thankyou

Thank you so much for saying that...I do wish more members would explain the process then peons (like me) would be able to learn from you. This image is sharp and crisp on the center and softens nicely into a black background, that darkness makes the rose pop out well. Good for you with the exposure because you have no bleeding at all and yellow is one of the hardest colours to photograph.
