The muses has gone!

A bad thing has happened, I am in the doldrums with picture taking. No matter what I try I just do not seem to see the picture/photograph/image!! This is very frustrating as I have to submit my images for the club monthly competition. This months set subject is 'Flowers - an unusual shot'. I have tried dead flowers (actually an Artichoke), No not what I was looking for. So then I tried some macros, well I think I must go for lessons again, got it all wrong, the theory was there but not the shot. I have a few days left so I am going to try the macro again, this time I will use the 20mm or 15mm extension tubes (not at the same time). What I am looking for is a shot of a white/pale yellow/pale pink rose bud, sort of 1/2 to 2/3 open. Focus dead center or the frame and the colour blown to total white at the edge with the hint of a shadow where the petals would be forming the bud. WHEN I get it right I will put it up on the gallery.
