They are beautiful.
They don't look that small on your photos. You must have been quite close to them.

They were about 1 1/2" in diameter and I was about as close as I could be and still get a sharp photo.
They're beautiful! You have some nice roses in your area to photograph.

Historic Reynolds Building Recycled into an Hotel & Condominiums!
In the last few months, the historic Reynolds Building, designed by the architectural firm of Shreve, Lamb & Harmon Associates was completed in 1929, and became the headquarters of R.J. Reynolds Tobacco in my home town, Winston-Salem, NC; the structure was preserved and converted to condos on the upper floors and the Kimpton Cardinal Hotel on the lower 6 floors - a new restaurant, Katherine Brassiere & Bar has also opened, and named after Katherine Smith Reynolds (wife of R.J. Reynolds, the found of the company).
The building is 314 ft in height - a year later in 1930, the same architectural firm started a new project in NYC, i.e. the construction of the Empire State Building (a little taller at 1,453 ft, including the antenna) - "Every year the staff of the Empire State Building sends a Father's Day card to the staff at the Reynolds Building in Winston-Salem to pay homage to its role as predecessor to the Empire State Building (link above)." Pics below of both buildings plus a comparison of heights - we've not yet eaten at the restaurant but on our 'to do' list soon! Dave

I can certainly see the definite similarities between the two buildings. It almost looks as if the R.J. Reynolds Building was a proof of concept for the upcoming Empire State Building a year later.Historic Reynolds Building Recycled into an Hotel & Condominiums!

Hi Scifan.. - that Father's Day card story is great! My son is a good half foot taller than me, so I can relate to the height difference -
The building had an indefinite future for a number of years - almost bought by the same people who developed the Proximity & O.Henry Hotels in Greensboro (a frequent overnight visit for us - both have excellent restaurants), but never happened - now, the structure has been preserved - a further achievement in the re-vitalization of our downtown area.
NOW, is the restaurant good? The menu is below - rather eclectic w/ a 'southern' tilt - there are daily oyster selections, and Susan would adore the Lobster Pot Pie, if good; some interesting fish selections for me - we'll give the place a try soon. Dave

I needed something that sparkles for my challenge, something that inspires me. - What inspires women? Shoes. 
So I took my daughter's shoe for my picture.
This was the setup:
iPhone, without additional light
I used two flashlights to brighten the background and get rid of most of the shadow. Here's the final result:

Well done.
Thank you.
