Blushing Blooms
For me Flickr so far has been a strange voyage of self-discovery. There is still no port in sight...
Gosh, doesn't that sound grandly pretentious? (It really doesn't do to take yourself that seriously, Peter, lol!).
But one thing is clear to me now, that, of all the types of photography I've tried, the one I think that gives me most pleasure and satisfaction is flower photography.
I'm sure I'd do better liking something more popular or interesting, but there we have it. I just revel in the creative beauty and detail that hides in each one...
I like these ones because they look quite shy and coy :)
Taken in March last year. For the Crazy Tuesday Flowers theme this week, which tempted me out of creative isolation :)
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy this floral image. Happy Crazy Tuesday :)
[Handheld in daylight using this delicious 50mm prime.
Developed in Capture One for colour and softening the detail (low Clarity).
Into Affinity for crop and touch up and then Nik Color Efex for a bit of work on the light and an added Glow, with detail enhancement in the main flower.]
