the Racing Rose · **1 Like**

the photo is a little soft, but since the rose has a racing stripe with blue flames, I wanted to share with you. I believe the blue is due to the wall next to the bush, flash used.

Soft or not, it's really quite nice. It looks sharp enough at this size, imo.

Very attention grabbing Bob.....................well done.

Bob, on the racing rose (nice shot). Which 50mm lens was used. Freddy

Perfect title Bob. Looks sharp enough to me too. The dark background really enhances the flower.

**Sailor** · 02-21-2014, 08:04 AM

Very cool, brother Bob - like the flower is floating in limbo.

That's a different shot from you, Em - nice.

**Kerrowdown** · 02-21-2014, 11:33 AM

That was well spotted image.

Um, this isn't one of EM's images (assuming I'm reading your post correctly). Very similar to some of his work, but this gem is from Bob Harris

Really great photo - competing with eagle

And the blue just looks like it's part of the flower!

Wow, what a beauty! Looks almost like an abstract symbol

I use the 50mm f/2.8 macro lens, nice and sharp but a little shorter than the 105mm for macro photos.

there was a dark blue wall around the plants so I just added contrast to darken the background.

thanks to both for viewing and commenting. Just getting mentioned with EM is ego building but he is the master for sure.

The blue is actually the leaf of the rose and for some reason turned bluish due to the flash I think?

You're right, not the traditional rose shot at all, sort of cool I thought.
