Soft in color & texture

A Thorny Rose

Our life is like a thorny rose
Not perfect, but always beautiful
The thorns represent the hardships in our lives.
The delicate red petals represent the fun and beautiful things in our lives.
As a young rose the petals hugging around the seed are the family and friends who protect, love, and care for us.

The Reflection did not come out like I wanted, I hope you get the idea I was working to convey.

Beauty

Swirls of a rose

I love how the center of the rose swirls

Getting Out of Auto (2)

Still working to freeze motion.

In a  previous post, Getting out of auto, I received a couple of good suggestions on things that I can try to make the pictures sharper but today I was not able to put their suggestions to use.

I watched another 14-year-old young man give You Tube instructions on how to create this shot.

At some point in the near future I need to invest in an off camera flash.

Photos taken on Sony @65 and edited on Samsung Note III using Snapseed.
