Thanks, Pam. I think they’re tulips, although of an unusual variety.

I love your gossamer ghosts–especially the last one. Beautiful work indeed!

Such a creative mind! I love the way you see the world.

Thank you so much, Ogee. What a kind thing to say.

That’s a strange effect. I’m wondering how it was done.

The sun was shining very brightly, so that helps with the transparency. Then I went into Nik Color Effex and diffused the light even more, and then applied a sepia Paper filter. And voilà: ghost flowers. 🙂

Melanie, these are fascinating!

Thank you, Carissa. I’m interested to experiment more with this. The tulips were on someone’s property, so I could only be discreet about sticking my camera under the blossoms. I would rather have gotten down on the ground to really achieve intentional angles and compositions. I might knock on the door next time. 🙂

The silveriness really adds a lot to these. Great images, Melanie!
