Let thousand flowers bloom! (Show all kinds of flower shots)

Thank you - looks great! I didn't even spot the bee initially... What kind of blossoms are those?

Love your creativity with those - really beautiful and wonderful color work! 👍

Do like this one also, As far i can see or think pear, cherry blossoms or apple perhaps

Unfortunately I am no expert on flower types.

I'm guessing they are cherry blossoms.

Fantastic shots with very impressive colors - those two stand out the most to me. Absolutely love the nuance in the tones, as well as the composition. Superb!

Funeral Roses

Some images of wilted roses. Color, B&W and color processed using Corel Painter. Perhaps not the most spectacular images.

Thank you for kind words. Here are some but these are outside the box.

I love this one.

( it remembers my very young years '50-'60, lot of wilted flowers in the house we were visiting )

This is a wonderful image. Lots to admire in this thread.

Thank you everyone for the beautiful shots - lots of variation there. Really impressive!

@AlainCh2 I'm lucky as well. For most flower enthusiasts my images clearly don't show enough (in focus) for example... and yet most of the time i'm just enjoying it more that way. Love your flower shots the ReallySmallOne in particular!

@Maoby and @kgwhite I really enjoy your beautiful (and in part somewhat 'darker') interpretations. I've not experimented a lot with that, but I'll make sure to post a one or two attempts at that as well. Excellent work!

Here's another couple of shots:

As mentioned before, I've looked for some of my perhaps (thematically) slightly darker flower shots:

More Weird Old Stuff

Those are really interesting, unique and creative - I like the colors and bold experimental processing.

The last one is my favorite though. The structure is fantastic, particularly when looking at the bigger version. Just fantastic! 👍
