Description
Captured 5/3/14, early morning, just outside of my condominium complex.
Since it grows in clusters, this variety is a favorite of all landscapers around here, government or private, and you see it growing everywhere. I have so many shots of this bloom in my files that it borders on the ridiculous. Ergo, I have to look the other way when passing them in order to avoid any more photography of these floral guys.
Please ZOOM for the best effects.
Pozegnanie, baby.

Wonderful light control, Harry; I have no self-control when it comes to photographing flowers. If they're there I shoot 'em! Doesn't matter how many silly thousands of shots I already have, I still have to see if I can get the "best" shot yet. You got amazing detail in this capture of these silky-petaled lovelies!

Lovely comments, they see the great beauty here. And I wish I had a ten-thousandth of your eye for flowers, where I could actually avoid them because I've already shot so many. (I avoid them because my flower shots bite the grand WAZOO. The opposite of yours.) I've skipped to this image NOT because I won't comment on the others---I will---but because I want to skip a little before I end this session, and come back to the others next time. Your light here is breathtaking, and the effect is like light blooming in the darkness, over and over. Little starbursts. But it's also of luminous silk undulating in the air. It's like these blooms are in pure air, detached from anything else. And you've turned your background into a deep backdrop; and allowed light to come through as accents---beautifully seen/worked on. But the roses are unearthly, and I love the spread of them and how they go on beyond the frame; but they come to a climax in that big rose facing us. And that flower has a hat on its head, to boot! (Ie, the rose above it, in side view.) Beautiful light and dark and textures; and another masterful addition to this amazing series.
