Shoot the Loop

I believe "shoot the loop" is a surfing term that describes surfing through the tunnel of water formed by a wave crashing toward the shore. That's what this view of my wilting tulips reminded me of. I sure am getting a lot of photo opps out of this tulip bouquet!

Lovely silky look to the petals with that good light!

I can see that too

[Debs Stott]

It does look like that - a great frame! A bunch of flowers is worth the investment from a photography and beauty point of view!

[Hope D Jennings]

Yes! It does! Gorgeous!

Very interesting way to shoot the tulip. I love the way that you did not pick those yellow petals away to make it "perfect", that would lose its charm and tension.

[Dione Giorgio]

Very creative. Love the pov.

[Claire]

Nice capture!

[Rick Schies]

Drying flowers are always interesting to shoot up close

[Nicole Campbell]

It does look like the waves of the ocean, very creative

Thank you so much everyone! I'm glad to report that although I'm still stuffy and sound horrible, I definitely felt better today and had a little more stamina thanks to a better night's sleep. So glad to be feeling more like myself!

@alia_801 Thank you so much for the fav Alia! I think this one's in my favorites list too.
