We had a hailstorm last night, so if I was out in this heat/humidity/poor air quality shooting flowers, they would look even more desperate than these...I'm pulling shots from the archives that I just never had time for. Maybe if it's too hot to shoot, you would enjoy doing the same? I like the weatherbeaten flowers, also the ones gone to seed, or blackened by frost--they have character.

Imagination!

Comment by Pelle:
great shot! A little tacky border, too tight cropping and too much smart blur. I give it a 6, but would be 7 if it was more natural

I do like the effect. Might've tried a square crop to eliminate the overdone patch in the lower right corner, though.

the fight for survival displayed in a quiet image - the processing works perfectly to show their battle for life

Processing definitely adds interest to this. Cool effect.

Yep, those twins may have been separated at birth, but got reconnected just in time for their portrait.
Love the bright and pretty color.

Very nice capture, Kelli. Something about flowers just past their prime that I think makes them much more interesting.
