"How about a round of applause for internationally acclaimed Rosa

Sinensis."

Perfect.......I also think in color could be very nice...2 or 3 tones.

Thanks, Fernando, this started out as an accident, trying to make something out of a flower that lacked exciting color.

Very nice work, Ransford. Best regards.

I like this photo..the tones, the contrast, the texture..well reinforced by the black Bg.

A great composition and an incredible B & W! rendition. IMHO, color would ave not had the same impact.

 

Great Image. My compliments.

This was bit a departure for me, I'm glad you liked it.

Wow, looks like a floating ameba!

Excellent ligth, I see you are playing with it a lot, what do you use for this? A common lamp? (I only have that).

 

 

I can't imagine an hibiscus with insignificant colour, but you've done a striking job of converting it. They're very photogenic flowers. It's something fun to do on a dull day.

Turned out original, interesting and aesthetic, Ransford, so blessed accident and blessed departure! And my best regards and wishes for the coming year!

It's always satisfying to find comments on images buried well down the site. It means someone has gone beyond the very recent images.

Hanna: This was nearly white hibiscus, but it had, IMO, a wonderful flow to it, marked by the configuration and the veins. As far as color is concerned, I love powerful red flowers, like the native hibiscus, geraniums, roses, but I have difficulty capturing them digitally, usually underexposing and then adjusting color in PhotoShop. Any suggestions? Should I use film?

Ricardo: I discovered a long time ago in painting watercolors that 'accidents' can be a great source of creativity.
