G'day,
Beautiful image, first thing that caught my eye was the second rose though, not the first

I like the way there's more than initially meets the eye, but wondering whether the DOF was meant be fairly deep or short? Had a sticky at the EXIF and F5? Just curious what determined the aperture... Beautiful colour... and love the soft OOF rose in the background, nicely framed and worked out, just wondering if there's a smidge more room for the top (whether it's cropped etc.?) the rose looks cut-off a bit...

Just ramblings...

Thank you for your comments.Reason for f5 to get the whole rose and stem in focus.My second shot was f1.8 and all of the rose and stem were not in focus,very short DOF.

I agree - alittle more room at the top would have helped this image. Still - its very nice. Great flowers. Look out for bees when smelling them!
