"When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it's your world for the moment. I want to give that world to someone else.”
- Georgia O'Keeffe 1887-1986
And I would like to share this Super Parrots with you, have a wonderful spring, everybody. And say thank you for your kind reactions, comments and favs on yesterdays “before the storm” picture. It’s always very special to me, if you like my pics.
@aikimomm Hi Phoebe, thank you. The vase was placed on my white sideboard behind the window (with white draperies), against the light coming from a behind fog setting sun. I shot already black&white, high-key. 0.05 sec (1/20) (handheld!, as the tripod is in our camper, in France), Aperture: f/2.8, ISO Speed: 250. In PS I enhanced the contrast, the sharpness on several spots, doing this with different layers. Voilà!
@novab Oh Nova, do not worry, these are at full beauty in this stage. And in the bunch of about 15 different "whitish" tulips of different kind you do not see, that this kind bends the heads a bit. I start with beautiful flowers in April. :-) I arranged them only for this artsy fartsy shot like this.
Your before the storm shot was amazing.
