Older shot of Hydrangea as it was opening up. To create the effect, I first adjusted the colors, then I drew a circle around the flower using the shift key to ensure a perfect circle. Then, I did Select Inverse and duplicated the layer. Next, I did a zoom blur, added noise, converted to black and white, then using Filter, Stylize, Glowing Edges to create the lines. The last thing I did was duplicate the layer again and added a motion blur.

Spring isn't quite here yet in Missouri, but left over dried hydrangea blooms are still clinging on the brances...faded, dried...almost like paper flowers. They wait for summer to be reborn...but for now they are hydrangea dreams.

Hydrangea, the name, comes from the Greek words "hydro" or water, and "angeion," or vase = water vase, they prefer a lot of water. A very ancient plant, found in fossils going back thousands of years.
Photographed the way I like it, minimal dof, it gives it a lovely sense of mystery, well, I think so...
Flower lovers will know that there is a flower language.
Every sentiment is expressed in one form or another by delicate blooms. Of course, even the experts disagree on the "true meaning" of many flowers and most have different meanings to different people. So, while all flowers convey thoughtfulness and love, a gift of flowers for a special someone will always create its own personal meaning, too.
HYDRANGEA - Thank You for Understanding.
Sometimes I just 'feeeeeeeeel' like this, a flower image in b&w...
I love the subtle tones, all the varied tones, that give the flower/petals/stems their texture, depth and form, their delectable shapes accentuated, extracted and emphasized without the colour. Don't you agree?
Have a wonderful day and thanx for your comments with all my heart, M, (*_*)

I used two layers of Kim's texture "rue" both on softlight, 68% opacity. I also added a radial gradient using the curves layer to give it a soft, subtle vignette.
