Botanist's Dissection

A colour version of my tulip. I think this is less Mappelthorpe and more O'Keefe?

[Shutterbug]

I see O’Keefe here in the minimalism. Beautiful capture.

[Joan Robillard]

Wonderful

[BillyBoy]

[KoalaGardens🐨]

[Rob Z]

Sorry I didn't recognise either of your references - but I do like your image.

[Susan Wakely]

Gorgeous. Fits both artists.

[Christine Sztukowski]

Very elegant

[katy]

FAV it is amazing both ways! I believe it is more O’Keeffe in the color version

[Joanne Diochon]

I think I prefer the black and white.It highlights the structure which I think is the most interesting part of the image. I also think I prefer the horizontal view.

[Peter]

Simply gorgeous image full of wonderful detail and colour Jackie, Fav:)

[Junan Heath]

Gorgeous shot!

[Bec]

Lovely

[narayani]

Very nice

[Kathy]

Very nice. A nice similarity in style with O'Keefe. Perhaps the focus might be a bit closer to the flower itself so that it fills the frame.

[LManning (Laura)]

Beautiful details.
