Onion #1 by darylo

Onion #1

Well, I made it outside despite the rain -- it's a bit depressing. I chased bugs, I tried to get a water droplet. Then I saw the onion shoots. What little and beautiful bouquets they are!

So I plucked one, tasted it (yup, onions), and then proceeded to play with it in my fingers and against different backgrounds. The blue here is from my solar-powered lantern in the back yard! The others have the lines of my skin included--like onion paper I thought.

Moisturizer. I'm putting it on the list. This was fun.

Who knew onions were so cute! The blue background was a great idea.

@vskolnik It worked so well! I kept thinking the awful rainy blah was not going to get me today, and luckily I walked around with my onion sprig long enough to experiment with backgrounds and bases (my hands). It was a good day.

I don't think I've ever looked at an onion so closely . . . (can't digest them so I tend to avoid them) but you present it so artistically here. The bouquet image is very nice.

I haven't seen an onion in this stage before. They are very pretty! Lovely shot of them.

Wow! Fabulous shot, Daryl. It almost looks like a gift wrapped bunch of flowers.

I love this tiny onion "bouquet" It is really pretty against this background!

LIke this one best Daryl. Great composition - the onion flowers stand out beautifully against that gorgeous blue background.

What a pretty bouquet! I also like the blue bkg

Wonderful shot, the splash of blue sets off the delicate buds of the onions perfectly. The buds remind me of tiny white rose buds gathered into a bouquet.

Stunning shot! I love the way it looks like the flowers are in a vase, so beautiful. Onion flowers are just so delicate. .

Thanks for all the great comments! Who knew an onion could be so dreamy!? This shot reminds me of easter lilies :-)

How cool! I wouldn't have known they were onion flowers!

Gorgeous. It looks like a bouquet of flowers, wrapped in cellophane paper.

Stunning image -- hard to remind myself when looking at it that it's the lowly onion!
August 20th, 2013  
Definitely the best of the three because of the vibrant color. A micro-beauty.

Stunning and dreamy at the same time! Love the simple blue background, and soft edges!
