Description

This is the rose I gave my daughter last night. She won top honors in her computer class! I stood there and listened to her teacher say how wonderful she is.....I cried! This was the highlight of my week, after all I have been through. My daughter is the light in my every day. I have 3 wonderful children and I love them all! This is for you, Codi. I took this this am on the table. I used a tripod, and the BG is my dress. I took this at 1/60, natural light from the window, F6, ISO200 and a macro lens. I also want to say thank you to Darren for being so helpful with the flood filter that I added. Thank you so much for your help!
