There is no way I am going t enter a flowers challenge!
and here I am...
I am not even going to pretend this has much of a chance of even doing anything in this challenge... am doing it as a tribute to Sher and RKT for making me think flowers can be cool...and so that this tribute isn't taken as an insult, I do want to make it clear that I don't think this is even half as good as their stuff...
I think people will be bothered by the background-I like the effect, for me it creates tension, the flower is more or less imprisoned...yah I know whatever...this is a flower in my garden, nothing more...
calculations, curves, cont +, dodge and burn, crop, smart sharp, save for web. Stared at it, and thought to add something..went quadtone.

well, i think it's absolutely beautiful! there aren't many things i like more than flowers photographed in this way. it has such a sad and fragile mood even more enhanced by the drops of rain. this should have finished much, much higher!
thank you for the tribute, Robert. i am truly honored with such a lovely photo.
this has a very nice, sort of vintage feeling to it. maybe even a little sad how it's hanging there like that. always interesting to have a flower shot evoke emotions ;)
