Default Let me know what you think

I am a new to photography with no schooling whatsoever...I grabbed a Nikon D60 and took this photo of some flowers from My grandmothers recent passing...The idea was that the flowers wouldn't last forever, but a photo would. This is the best i could do with only using editing on the camera, there is no photoshop involved...I wish i knew how to use photoshop...anyways, let me know what you think? what would you do with this if it came out of your camera?

Welcome to DPS, Metalfan! A very nice first post. The lighting and exposure on this one is perfect and it's a nice tribute. Hope you enjoy yourself here on the forum.

First of all, welcome to DPS! I love the light on the roses and on the glass, just beautiful. I'm so sorry to hear of your grandmother's passing -- I hope this photo and your memories bring comfort to you and your family.
