Hold still !!!!!!!

The secrets to high quality photographs by LD.  I took quite a few of the wild rose, but this was really probably the best one as it wasn't swaying in the breeze.


Here I cropped out the hand, but I don't think it is as interesting as the one at the top.


Three photos today, as this one has the influence of direct sunlight on the side of it  to create a lighter colored flower.

Beautiful rose pictures Larry. As you know I shamelessly copied your blog idea of a photo per day but I often find myself posting more than one too!!!!!!!! I really like the sun on the rose in the last picture.

I love this wild rose..so very pretty..mine does not even have buds yet..but it is spreading ..so now I have several plants! The wind is not a photographers friend..at least not with delicate flowers:)

It's a pretty rose. Reminds me of visits to an elderly aunt who had loads of them in her back garden. Your hand added to the first one.

Very pretty. I didn't notice the hand until you mentioned it! If you didn't want to crop, you could clone another leaf to cover it.

What a great shot of a beautiful healthy rose. I love single-petaled roses.

I know what you mean about those breezes! ha I always have my hubby stand to provide shade over most of my flower shots when he is with me so they don't looked "washed out". ha
