ethereal abstract

I was inspired to try this shot by a photographer whom I follow on Instagram, www.instagram.com/briangrandfield/. The images he has taken of flower petals stopped me in my tracks and I have been obsessing over them for a couple of days. When I was at Costco the other morning I was lingering by the flowers dreaming about creating my own petal images when the florist asked if she could help me. I explained I just want some flower petals and without hesitation she took and snipped off a bunch of roses, popped them in a bag and gave them to me. I am so grateful for her generosity and am hopeful that this may inspire others as well. I do feel like a bit of a butcher though to dismember all the petals of the beautiful full rose was hard for me.
