Lenten Roses, by Mary Stebbins Taitt. Bryan with a Y Peterson defines "
working the subject" as experimenting and trying different POVs, filters and effects and not being satisfied with the first "easy" shot. Lenten Roses (at least mine) are not easy to photograph well, as the flowers tend to be low to the ground and point downward. I took "zillion" shots of these and then I ortonized this one digitally on Picasa and then I made a sepia version and sandwiched it back with the original to get this. Oh, I prolly should include the original so you can see what I have done, and even a shot of the Lenten Roses to show how they face downward. OK, I will add those later.

This picture is quite lovely. I've been wanting to plant some Lenten Roses in my yard.
The folks in red below have confirmed that they are in by emailing me

You can post pics there, spin yarns, make it look all fancy, whatever you want.
As soon as I know everyone is in and has gotten their books I will email you all the addresses and mailing order.
Thanks! I love it too. The white ones are nice too.
I love the way you "worked" this. It seems to tell a sad but beautiful story of love and loss.
It does have a sort of melancholy feel to it, doesn't it? Soft, sweet and sad.
