The rose returns. (natural light, shadows and dark areas caught in camera)

Thanks, I was getting a little carried away with darkness and shadows. And I find that by adding a sepia undercoating I can bring out a lot more colour and detail without overstressing the shadows.

Your p/p as well as your photography has come on leaps and bounds B, have you decided if you are getting another bridge or dslr yet? my mate just got the Fuji HS30 EXR, its a great little camera and allows you to shoot raw!

Very nice.

Looks like I will be getting the FinePix HS50EXR It shoots in RAW and has a manual telephoto and focus. Just inside our price range and never a temptation to buy that one really fine and expensive lense.

Now if I can just remember 'subtle'!

Very nice.

the sun was just the right angle to highlight the rose and not hit the fence.

Yes that's the one above the HS30, it has a zoom range 24-1000, 35mm equivalent my friend got his HS30 for £150 from EBay, like new it is He was getting the 50 until he saw that, I think they are both good cameras

I think the major difference is the manual telephoto. With what I tend to shoot that could come in handy.

Very nice Brian, I like the composition, the light, the colors and shadows, I mean everything

and it was even the same rose but from a different angle!
