Thanks for the nice comments. I'm glad you like it. I had a little trouble getting everything sharp because the flowers where being blown around, but what are you gonna do?
My Partner and I are not gardeners by nature and for the most part, watching the man sit on his tractor to mow the lawns is as close as we want to get. However, out side the cottage door is a rose trellis and today, the roses started to display.
They are all the same rose, but there are more opening soon, stay tuned {smiles}
Nice one. Yeah, being around them all my life and having owned one, that was the first thing I thought of when I read Almo's project for the month. You beat me to it!
Anyway, I figured most people would post "pretty" images so, to be always different, I thought I'd go shoot some "ugly" ones. Here are some.

Kizzie :thumbsup:
I really like the reverse perspective shot, looking up from beneath the rose. It's an unusual perspective that not many would think to shoot, but it turned into a photo that showcases the beauty of the flower from whole 'nother direction.
Thank you so much Payn.
It's Pea Season right now in the UK and my hubby eats them, raw, by the lorry load lol.
I had a "Eurika Moment" this afternoon.
I was standing in my kitchen and shouted out loud "PEAS! Peas are plant life!" Ran upstairs grabbed my camera and a sheet of white A4 paper and used my settings for a natural lighting shot.
I was pretty happy with my results from today.
And all taken with my little beauty of a lens...my 50mm 1.8 mkII :thumbsup:
I love that lens!!!

edit: A "manufacturing plant" that is.
Hey Loupey, I like your "ugly" plants. Don't think they're ugly at all. I like the second and last the best. Nice shapes in all of them. I bet they would work well in B&W.
Sorry I beat you to the plant idea. I was in a hurry, because I thought someone else might think of it.
