Love the roses stuck in your basket with the leaves. Do you happen to have one of those wide baskets for cut flowers from the garden ?? With leaves & flowers in that, that would be such a country look, maybe mums ?? Anyway, this is very pretty & very artistic, thanx for sharing !! : )

Hi Marilyn,
Roses 'n leaves in a basket?.....Artistic, colourful, and bright!!.........Well done !!!
Cheers!.............John

Ya did it Marilyn!! this is so pretty....I just love the contrast of the roses and the leaves and then that basket! Its such a wonderful idea..Now ya gotta "sell" this to shops...fix your baskets and GET RICH>>smiling here! Try other flowers too! would be great>..this is just lovely my friend!!

Those roses are still drop-dead gorgeous Marilyn. The leaves are beautiful autum leaves witht he rich, vibrant colors. I like the visibility of the basket a bit more. It adds 'character' tot the image :)) Well done my friend!

I think you are onto something here ... I really like the play with the shadows combined with the absolutely gorgeous colours as a thematic forerunner to the idea of fall. (Hmm, trying say that fast twice, lol.)

This is definitely an idea worth revisiting. As much as I like this image, I think you managed to suggest 'more' with this one. Well ... what are you waiting for?

Kidding a little. I am wondering how the placement of the roses in the right hand side and the shadow cast across left side to right would look. Or ... leave the light as is, and just change the positioning of the roses? I am not sure. But, conceptually, ohhh ... this just begs more ... and more ...

Really great idea. And having read some of your own commentary, as great as you are in the garden, you obviously have an 'eye.' I hope to see you using it and stepping out of your comfort zone.

Thanks again, for sharing.

A basket of colour, of light and shade, of roses and fallen leaves against a background of bright yellow, it is very artistic and quite beautiful Marilyn, another 'favourites'. The title is excellent too!

With the voting and the requests for comments I haven't had the chance before now to comment on this, though I saw it and your first one like this a few days ago...just want you to know I think they are lovely and a great idea...my favorite flower combined with the star of the fall colors...they go so beautifully together and with the basket and the lighting it is all just marvellous...way to go, Marilyn.:Pat.

What a lovely picture. I love the colour combinations, and everything in a basket makes it so nice to look at. Fresh and vibrant. I love it.

Love this picture. The colors stand out so brilliant yet with a soft touch. Love the mix of flowers with leaves. Nicely taken.

I didn't know you were a fellow Michigander! I love this picture, it's very creative and the colors are amazing... nice job! :-)

Anyone who reads this post of mine should go and see the rest of Marilyn's gallery, I spend hours in it, flower photograpy at its very best, go on....have a look, wonderful stuff, and ya can even smell em ! ! !

Kind regards,

Mark.
