Petals on the Deck by olivetreeann

Petals on the Deck

My camera has a setting called "color swap". I still don't know how the camera determines which colors to take out and which to leave in, but every shot I've used it on so far has had a haunting appeal to me. These are some geranium petals but they are actually not the red kind, they're purple and white and the deck is plain, unfinished wood. How the camera decided on red for this shot, I'll never know, but it's a great entry for the 30 Days of Selective Color Challenge!
We have lost so many petals lately

Thanks Rick and Kerri! These came off in a storm the other day. The plant is already pushing up replacements.

Beautiful petals - they remind me of butterfly wings :)

Amazing! I particularly love the texture of the wood.

Haunting is right! Almost other-worldly! Keep experimenting, girl. You're onto something!

Thank you Brian, Lisa, Lynn, Margaret, Sally, Alia, Dione, Vega, Taffy, Vesna and Teresa. Your comments and reactions mean so much! I'm really having fun with this new camera and I'm glad you're enjoying all the experiments!

@vega I think this is a totally new feature which was first released in this version of the Power Shot. But it's possible it was in an earlier model and I just don't know about it!
@alia_801 Me too!

A fav simply cos there´s somethng so fascinating about the mood here, it reminds me of something I can´t really put my mind into....and that red, like blood, powerful!
