This colourful flower came from a beautiful bunch of varied blooms, and this is showing it in early ‘wilt’:
Just starting to wilt
There will be another image of this flower in later decay!

simply lovely!
Thanks, Georgia, glad you like it 🙂
such impact! how do you do your best before portraits – camera settings?
Hi Laura, I’m not quite sure what you are asking, or I would answer you…best before portraits?
sorry to be so vague Sue -was interested in the technicalites of the shots – fstops etc
Oh, OK….I’m not going to be precise here, as the setup will vary according to the ambient light….but, some basics. Firstly, I usually take these shots somewhere between f9 and f11 to achieve enough sharpness from front to back of the flower and utilising the best range for the lens (more or less). I may use exposure compensation to get close to the look I want, and then further treatment in post processing. Nik ColorEfex for the low key, with my own adjustments…
very helpful Sue – appreciate the feedback – thank you ❤
You’re very welcome…..oh, and I forgot to say – camera on tripod, ISO set as low as it’ll go (100ASA for my camera)….and use self timer to avoid shakeo
Just beautiful….
Glad you like it, Sherri 🙂
Gorgeous shot Sue. Look forward to the next stage.
Great! I’ll post it in the coming week….
To me it looks as though some of the petals are ‘holding out’ and refusing to follow the group. Another lovely one Sue.
Perhaps you are right! Stubborn petals…
I love the color, and the way the petals are curling on the left. Lovely!
The colour was wonderful, and that one flower did the uneven curling of the petals, which is what appealed 🙂
I like the way it poses, Sue 🙂
It does rather, doesn’t it!
Awesome 😀 You could really have an exhibition of your own with this lovely series…I’m sure those photos would look great printed 😀
Funny you say that, I was actually thinking I should give this a go one day….. Who knows!
You really should!!! 😀 I would definitely love to visit such an exhibition, i’m sure many other people will love it as well!
Thanks for your support, Alex!
You make it look elegant and beautiful, Sue, 🙂
Thank you! That is my aim 🙂
Beautiful 😀
Thanks, Maggs
Another beautiful photos.
Thanks Otto!
Beautiful color and it works well with the dark background. Even as the petals are still horizontal they remind me of hair (after making me think of an umbrella). Perhaps I’m thinking of a woman’s hat… perhaps I’m all over the place. But it’s still beautiful. 🙂
Thank you – much appreciated. It is amazing where we can find the beautiful!
