Rose Water

What do you think?

This is a lovely shot! The colours are so tranquil and the textures wonderful. But I object to the rose for two reasons. It makes the picture "contrived" which is just a personal thing and I find the rose is just too "in your face" for such a tranquil and lovely shot. I would honestly hang this shot on my wall if not for the rose. But it's wonderful nonetheless!

Thanks for your wonderful compliments.

 

The rose was in the water when I arrived - I think the flower sellers around had been dipping the roses in the fountain to refresh them and one must have fallen from a bunch and landed in this position. I know it may seem contrived but it wasn't deliberate...it was actually the rose that attracted my eye to the scene.

 

Regards
