About Every rose has it's thorns, eh? Duality, the yin yang thing, the whole philosophy of life . . . good is not possible without bad, etc. Pleasure requires pain to define it . . . and the joy of companionship is complemented by the abject sorrow of that same loss. So . . . a rose for my missing friend!! Nothing as cool as being missed!

Well, it is a beautiful tribute to our missing friend, Doyle. Where or where can he be???

Hopefully, Gene may have stopped to smell the roses for a while Doyle & Marlyce...

Have all his Yarrawonga furry & non-furry friends keeping vigil for his safe journey... All shocked, thinking what sticky mess he may have found himself in... An international honey smuggling ring? or the gods forbid illegal fur... ummmm felt traders :(

My humblest apologies for not being around lately, life playing games and needing to get so much done home wise...

A stunning rose Doyle, Gene will find his way... :)

Onie... :)

Very nicely captured rose, Doyle! Great colour and nice composition with the baby's breath.
Dave.

Ooooh. Women should not refer to me as their humble king . . . it inflates my ego. Wait a minute. That's impossible. Never mind, my humble subject!! :)

Doyle I <~~~~~

He could be held prisoner in a warehouse in Westchester . . . Though I suspect NOT for long!

Doyle I <~~~~~

Robin Wickenkamp   {K:16461} 10/23/2007
Awwww...you're such a softie! A perfect rose Doyle...rich red, great clarity at the pof, well composed (even though it's centered)...gorgeous my friend. :) Now dip it in honey and lay it out with all the other gifts in your yard!

Take care...Robin


Doyle D. Chastain   {K:100221} 10/23/2007
Thanks Nacho!

Doyle I <~~~~~


Doyle D. Chastain   {K:100221} 10/23/2007
Ahhhh . . . poor Robin and the inexperience encumbent with youth! It SEEMS centered to the young, but older, wiser people, have recognized the fact that there is an inherent depth to this image which will bear out if seen in that light . . . (See attached). Clearly, in that light, this is composed classically along the rule of thirds!! That's my story and I'm stickin' to it! Now . . . off to the honey pot!! :)

Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~

Depth enhanced.

John Hatz   {K:152703} 10/24/2007
Good shot Doyle, even the red is here very....powerfull color as it supported by the sunlight, you shot the flower well and you get some details on the leafs at least at the center of the flower...the most of the times flowers that are bright are difficult in photos with that lighting conditions, you get it pretty well!


Doyle D. Chastain   {K:100221} 10/24/2007
Thanks very much John!

Doyle I <~~~~~
