love it against the dark. did you use light painting too? it stands out so nicely

[LManning (Laura)]

Love the lighting and the ICM is terrific.

[Kathy]

Great colors in the rose and leaves. I like the choice to use the black background. The misty ICM look is quite appealing.
@wakelys Groan!

[Shutterbug]

Makes it look windblown. I like it on black.

[haskar]

Great effect. Love this.

@30pics4jackiesdiamond Really lovely colors and I like the soft edges created by the ICM. The stem looks really nice.

For your Get Pushed challenge, what do you think about creating a camera obscura and capturing the image it produces? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camera_obscura

I did this once in my bedroom using cardboard boxes & gaffer tape to block out the windows (besides a small hole), but I think you could do it on a smaller scale too (i.e. something more the size of a pinhole camera.)

A fabulous capture fav

What a great result.

[Peter]

Wonderful resulting image Jackie:)

[Cazzi]

I love this, I could look at it for a long time.

[John M]

@30pics4jackiesdiamond No problem! How about taking an image through another material? e.g. a window, screen, water, etc.

If you ever get the urge, I do recommend making an obscura! It's easily done with household materials and the results are quite fun :)
