Who would think that a flower could look more lovely without its color? You.

Your comment made me smile, thank you, Ogee. 🙂 I do like the look of flowers sometimes more when I strip them of color; somehow I can see better their extraordinary details.

That’s a great saying, and reminds me of my grandmother because it describes her perfectly. Her name was Lilly!

I just love this romantic, semi-nostalgic route your travelling on at the moment. This shot and the last I find very rich and emotional. Really great.

Thank you, Richard. I am grateful for your encouragement. I always feel a bit unsure about posting when I experiment.

Beautiful composition. Very effective use of tonal colours.

Thank you, Joseph. I’m glad the image works. It’s tricky sometimes stripping and rebuilding, and I’m never sure if I’ve got it quite right. Well, I should say, I feel like it works for my eyes, but am not sure if it will reach others.

Hiya,
As a keen floral photographer (one of my few and biggest girly weaknesses), I love seeing the work of others with the same passion. This picture, from the Lemony Shots blog (check it out!), is nothing short of beautiful.
