polaroid flower

Taken a few weeks ago I've had a love/hate thing going on with this photo. When it first came out of the camera I nearly binned it but I can't bin anything. There's something about I like but there's something about it I don't like- it could be the blue line - it's how it came out, temperamental chemicals in their first batch of b&w film, this is why they sold it cheap.

Lovely image Ingrid and I'm sure its even more impressive holding the polaroid.

great shot

Love the image, it is magically soft. I don't think that the Obiwan Kenobi light sabre mark detracts from it at all.

I like it as well Ingrid. I like the soft feel of the photo.

[John Newman]

Love this, reminds of old cine film with a burn mark, great looking vintage shot, Another FAV for me :)

[Ingrid Budge]

@johnmnewman thank you John, I've been looking at your Flickr work- love it, just had a quick look but will get over to it later when I have more time :)

[Ingrid Budge]

@mizhayz Aw thank you, I like the way you see things!

[Luke Corden]

Once again Ingird, your work is so enjoyable to look at. This reminds me of japanese wood block and is quite ghostly. It seems like there is a story to be told with this shot.

[Margie]

Ah cool! I think the blue mark adds to this unique and atmospheric image, it brings an element of decay in the freshness of the flowers! Love it.

[JessFresh78]
