The glamour glow

Posted by
Curly (South Shields, United Kingdom) on 13 May 2013 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

Another rose bought here in South Shields for my wife Sharon.
This year we will (hopefully) celebrate our 25th. wedding anniversary, and I WILL buy my wife 25 red roses, that's for sure!
She was very glamorous when we married, she looked like a real Disney Princess on our wedding day, and now her face shows the ravages of both time and a dreadful cancer, but I will always think of her as glowing and beautiful along with the many friends and family who celebrated with us in 1988.
Most of the adjustments for this macro shot were made in Nik Color Efex with addition of a little extra glamour glow in Tiffen DFX.
