Its really a spectacular picture, as it invites one to approach it as a blank canvas.
It does move the creative mind


Does that make sense?
It is quite inspiring. It captured great clarity of the petals.

Did you take this perfect pic?
I would buy this & simply lucidly study it.
🙂


Thank you ~

From the bright yellow flower photo.

The B&W flower seems more soft, ethereal, sensual, almost dreamy, than the yellow one (which was just as beautiful)

It was a big hobby for me in my late teens. Now I have a collection of 4X5 glass negatives from about 1904 to 1917. I haven't done so well free free photoshop type software. These would be perfect for contact printing.

I've always loved B/W photos.
