Jan is the host of SOOC Sunday. The idea is to post a photo that hasn't been edited in any way except, if need be, cropped.
I took this shot using the manual setting to darken the bloom which appeared too bright in the strong afternoon sun.
The rhododendron flower was not quite in full bloom, maybe I should have waited...
Nice flower Mary. We have started getting quite a lot of them here so I hope we get a bit of sun so that I can take picture.
ReplyDeleteThis turned out very well, MaryT. The light looks just right to me!
ReplyDeleteThe photo is great; I'm awed by the garden, though. :D
ReplyDeleteThe bloom really pops against the black background, Mary.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty with a lovely touch of romantic atmosphere!
ReplyDeleteI love how you used the settings of your camera to optimize the picture.
ReplyDeleteI really like how your photo turned out, Mary.
