Taken at the Cook Memorial Park and Rose Garden in Libertyville IL recently. June is traditionally rose month so this is for all the rose lovers. Vignette technique and soft focus were used. All comments appreciated.

Cheers!! (Glug, glug, glug.) I like the colors and the soft focus on this foofy, Kathy. The sunlight is hitting it perfectly, too. Very nice.

The vignetting and soft focus really show off this beautiful rose to the best effect, Kathy.

Absolutely excellent work, Kathy. I'm not sure how to accomplish vignette technique and soft focus, but the results are undeniable. Just absolutely gorgeous work. The detail is amazing.

Kathy - The soft focus gives the rose a glow. The dark background, enhanced by the vignette effect gives the rose center attention. Nice work with this photo! Thad
