Further Experiments 2

From one extreme to another. Snipped off some of the dead, dessicated remains of a few roses which were lingering on the bush to play with indoors. Got sidetracked thinking about shadows, so played with harsh light from the flash instead of yesterday's soft light. Difficult to get the angles right. This was the best - a reflector to try to make the actual rose a little less black, no further adjustments in Lightroom. Will get back to my original intention with this material in due course - you ain't seen the last of these roses!
