Roses from the Garden

I came into the kitchen yesterday and saw a simple glass jar with three roses in it.  Kathy had cut the roses from a bush in the garden and they looked beautiful just sitting on the counter in the kitchen.  I immediately thought that it was worth a picture.  I spent a few minutes trying slightly different views, and seeing if I wanted everything in the photograph to be sharp, or whether I wanted to do this, where only some of the Rose blossoms are in focus.  Obviously, this is the one I liked the best.  By softening the focus on the jar and the table top and the green leaves, the roses become the most important element in the photograph
