The 39th Scavenger Hunt had an overarching theme, Rose, and 10 other words to associate to it. I went for a very literal interpretation of that, got myself a rose bouquet (on discount because they were starting to fade quite a bit) and managed the whole Hunt in one (long) afternoon.

This was my entry for the word “Fill the Frame”, where I wanted to get a single rose to, well, fill the frame. I went for the B&W processing to distinguish a bit from another picture in the Hunt that may have been a bit closer otherwise.

This was the original picture. I was working without a tripod, and I wanted to avoid both shaking the camera and dealing with a large amount of noise, while keeping some depth of field, so it’s fairly underexposed!
