Paula has asked us to show Descent for this week’s Thursday’s Special. I must say, it had me stumped for a short while (I didn’t want to do the obvious waterfall!), then I put my thinking cap on, and here are some drooping tulips, past their best at the onset of their decline:

beautiful…love the colors, detail, and composition. Thank you
Thank you, Brenda, for your most enthusiastic comment – much appreciated
They are certainly descending, Sue. Nicely captured.
Best wishes, Pete.
Thanks, Pete!
Excellent!
Thank you, Anna!
A beautiful composition and a lovely exposure. This could be a watercolor painting.

Thanks, Allan! I am quite a fan of high key…
It shows.

A beautifully ticked box!
Thank you, Gilly! Nothing like ticking a box, eh?
Well thought, my friend. And a delightful rendition of a tulip.
Thanks, Jude! I have been spending time trying to get the background and the low key to work….
Your hard work has paid off, it is a charming image.
Thank you 😀
YES! This symbolic descent has Sue Judd all over it, except that I believe you are keeping strongly and steadily on your feet. I was referring to your photo art of course. Thank you for a different interpretation. Have a good evening, Sue 🙂
Thanks, Paula, for your enthusiastic comment! Glad you like my symbolism (or metaphor, perhaps)!
You won’t believe me, but “metaphor” was first on my mind 😀
Why wouldn’t I believe you, Paula?
😀 I was distracted with a big cone of icecream when I decided to put symbolic instead of metaphor. It’s too hot here. I know you believe me. It was just a matter of saying, probably a direct translation of Croatian idiomatic expression 🙂

A delicately intoxicating image…shows the lightness of being in nature.
Thank you, Sally….I like your description!
Really beautiful as they descend, Sue. I always wish that tulips would last longer.
Yes, so do I!
Endearing and enduring. Well, almost 🙂 🙂 Lovely, Sue.
Thank you, Jo! They sadly didn’t endure too much longer…
So delicate and beautiful, stunning artwork.
Glad you like it, Inese! I’m getting to grips with high key!
The green and white are just exquisite!
Thank you!
Wonderful composition. The translucency of the flowers and leaves is glorious!
Thank you, Anna! Transparency was exactly what I was looking to portray…
😄
Oops, translucency 😀
Exquisite!!!
This one seems to have been popular!
Everything in this is perfect – ahhhhhhhhhhhhh
Thank you for such an enthusiastic comment, A-C!
As it should be!
😀😀
