I can't help myself. They sit out there so pretty every single day, and this happened to be a moment in time when the camera was able to catch their lines, just after a shower and before the sun struck them again.

I'm not much of a foofy man myself PJ but I especially like the darkness, and rich colour of this one.

Roses after rain - what could be more beautiful- wonderful lighting PJ - the leaves almost in competition with the blooms for their beauty.

Hey PJ,
I like the crisp detail and wonderful color, nice shadows too, between wet and dry, dark and light; there is even some nice poetry in there, love that a lot,
Nicely done,

Thanks for sharing
Warm regards
