Rose Buds

Another from the rose garden. PB and Topaz detail applied.

Excellent Dave, really like the texture and composition with the buds.

Excellent composition, Dave. Love the color and the texture. Beautiful lighting.

Thanks Bill and Indranil...appreciate the comments

the buds give just the right balance. Which Topaz did you use?

Beautiful composition, color and textures. Nicely processed Dave!

Love what you did with this rose. It makes me look deeper into the flower. The textures and colors work beautifully together. I'll be the odd one out and say that I find the two buds distracting. Maybe if it were just the bud on the left. The two buds seem too symmetrical to me. But, that is just me. Nice work.

Hi Dave...beautiful processing and the sharpness is amazing! I think I agree with Anita about two buds being too symmetrical...but as is....a beauty!

Hi, Dave, I agree with Anita on the two buds - I would like 2 buds on the same side or one bud. The processing works nicely with the rose which is beautiful.:S3:

Thanks for the comments...

Dave, I've come back to this image a dozen times...great processing...love the light, color and texture...torn about the two BG buds....I like Cheryl's thought about having them both on the same side...still mulling it over. Another strong image from you.
