Long stem

Here is the flower again. I played with it, but liked it best when the bottle and stem kept their color too and not only the red of the flower.

I thought about cutting the stem, but kind of like it this long. And as you all know you can make hair and flowers shorter and not longer, so I left it ;)

PS. this is the 2nd version... in the first I noticed some spots (below the leaves) where the SC was messy. I cleaned it up.

Love it. This photo brought back memories. Quite a few years ago I got myself a camera and joined our local photo club. The first photo I ever took was a carnation in a bottle, similar to this one and the rest his history as they say.

It is beautiful, and I like that you kept the color on the bottle.

I just love this, Ingrid! (Welcome back, by the way :) I'm behind in viewing your recent postings- just catching up now) I love the simplicity of your composition, and your use of colour works well here! Big fav!
