A Perfect Red Rose

Canon 7D, 100mm Macro Lens

Trying to keep the theme red leading up to Christmas.  Another beautiful Red Rose taken at Pollard Park in Marlborough a few days ago. Handheld Macro.  Been doing a lot of macro photography in the past week all enthused after taking a workshop for our beginners C grade group.  Their enthusiasm has rubbed off on me and now I'm finding all sorts of things in the macro world to photograph.

Canon 7D, 100mm Macro Lens

Taken at Pollard Park Yesterday on a overcast day which is perfect for red flowers.  I loved the way the petals were unfolding in this image.  I did try several different crops but for a change, centred was the best way to present this image so I'm breaking the rule of thirds.  Then again, rules are made to be broken. I used a textured overlay to get the effect.
