It was my wedding anniversary this week, and I thought that seeing the purchase of flowers for my wife was such a (shamefully) rare event I would immortalise them with a photo.
The flowers were already starting to droop, which aided this composition. I liked the way the flower seems to shout out...
I know most people are pretty tired of flowers, but I don't really care if this flops with the voters - just as long as my wife is happy... She wants to frame the pictures - probably as a subtle reminder to her husband. Or perhaps a memorial to a fleeting glimpse of marital romance! Oh... we also went to a classy resturant (I'm not a total failure...)
Setup:
Shot in my living room. Camera on tripod, black board behind flowers. Filtered daylight from behind. Inside flower lit by torch during exposure.
