Seen in one of the gardens run by the City of Vienna. In summer they might be more vibrant - it is very late in the season. This version is slightly updated, incorporating suggestions received via the Flickr group
I don't know why this shot came out underexposed, but it works well this way.
August Rose just before Sunset As seen in our garden. The light was somewhat golden and very soft. Re critiques: I ask for them and am always glad to get them. Yesterday's shot did have some problems - which fortunately I can blame on my five year old phone (first smartphone that HTC made) :)
