Post a CommentI LOVE your Rose gallery, even though I'm highly allergic to them. I love the one of the Minuet Rose which happens to be my favorite! Beautiful photography Mike!
Mike, if you don't already, you should look into selling your photos. They are so pretty. One place that is good to sell photos is etsy.com. Or you could make calendars or something.
I can smell these! Wow.
The richness and depth of color in 1 of 7, and the contrasting colors of 2 of 7 are both something to behold. Comments #10 and #20 also apply.
Stunning!
We tire of saying the same word over and over, but "BEAUTIFUL" still describes your photos best!
The purple one is my favorite!
The beautiful yellow roses with the salmon edges are my favorites!
These oses are incredibly beautiful, and so are your pictures.
Beautiful flowers and photos.
