Description I need to stop myself from taking pictured of Roses
But here is yet another one

I just don't have anything else around me to photograph currently. Maybe sometime soon...

I like the DoF in this one. How the focus kind of fades as it goes to the edges of the photo

I really like the cropping of this photo. Obviously there are lots of photos of roses out there because they are such a popular flower, but I don't usually see yellow ones (or is it white?)

Thank you for your comment
It is a white rose, tinged yellow from the sun.
And I didn't do any cropping on this, its straight from the camera.

when I say cropping I mean cropping either from editing or just what you chose when taking the photo, sorry for the confusion

That must have been such a lovely flower! I've never seen a white rose in person before.

Absolutely love white roses. I agree with you on this, the DoF is nicely done.

You said you were looking for composition help, so here it goes:

I would have taken the picture straight from above (it seems taking at an angle now) and use the 'rule of thirds' ([link] ) making it look like [link]

This one is really nice. I usually don't like frames but in this case it matches somehow to the photo. I'm always trying to make my boyfriend understand that I prefer white/yellow roses but he still keeps buying red ones for me. I believe that yellow and white roses are much more elegant. Just like this one

A nice picture. There's nothing at all wrong with floral/macro shots and you've got some good ones there.... A tripod or monopod is a good idea, but I find I get some great pictures even when I forget my tripod. You can always look for something steady and handy (railings, rocks, tree stumps) to support your camera. Keep up the nice work!

Love the subject, but I think the composition would be a little better with the centre of the rose slightly off centre of the frame. I read a comment above about focusing, have you considered using a tripod and manual focus?

I have the tendancy of taking alot of flower pics when I have nothing left to photograph aswell.
Very nice picture, reminds me of a wedding.

Awesome! So beautiful, and like crudd said, it's still very simplistic.

cruddpuppet [2007-10-07 04:17:46 +0000 UTC]

Very simplistic yet complex.

Do you just take your camera up close to the top of the rose or something?

Pretty much, lol
I do a bit of zooming in, but mostly I just have to get up close and hope my camera focuses properly
