Apparently I have been reduced to posting flowers until I become more motivated to go out and find a subject with more interest.

This is a transition shot from a month of B&W to color as I will be trying to do the rainbow challenge this month.

It isn't intentional SC but the pre-set in Color Efex, Film Efex Vintage, gives it a SC appearance that I kind of like. What do you think?

It's breathtaking. The color set off by the detail in the dark is perfect. Thank you for sharing!

Pretty shot with wonderful gritty texture surrounding the more delicate flower.

[Babs]

Pretty shot.

Such a pretty photo. I love the yellow, Katy. I like your title too. Not much to take photos of here. I have taken a few of the flowers my husband gave to me but not many. I know how you feel about finding something to take photos of. You always manage so well though. FAV

[KWind]

Very pretty flower and shot of it!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I think it's really nice- the bright and bold side of me wants to see just a little more saturation or vibrance on the flower, but that's just a personal preference. The shot looks good!

[Chris Johnson]

Even without motivation, you're doing a great job composing these flowers in your photo. Excellent textures and color.

Fabulous textures and composition. I look forward to seeing your full rainbow month. I had thought I'd try it but of course simply forgot on the 1st. Par for the course I reckon ;)

@kwiksilver it's still not too late. That post! Thanks for your kind words about this photo too.

[summerfield]

i was going to do the rainbow month but the lack of internet connection threw me off. maybe i will do a week in the next half of the month.

[katy]

@summerfield thank you dear friend. You cold finish the month or even do just a week. It wouild be nice to see what your magnificence comes up with!

[Diane]

Beautiful! I love the contrast between the flower and the bricks.
