Default Roses are red my love

Found this little fellow in the yard today, totally wrong time of the year to be finding rose buds so I just had to take some photos of it.

Your first rose looks like a graceful dancer. The light along the tips of the leaflets is as beautiful as the rose itself. What a lovely find!

VERY nicely composed shots. You've certainly given me some ideas for future reference. Like most, I'd say the first one is my fav. Thanks for sharing.

Michelle, your DoF is excellent and the captures are stunning. A beautiful rose bud in a time lapse or just a little late arriving. Lovely compositioin too. Very nice Michelle.
