crocus

This is a bit of a take on the leading lines for Flash of Red February because the lines on this crocus are leading lines for the insects to find the centre of the flower.

Very nice take too!

Quite dreamy. I picture the bee flying in, lured by the promise of pollen.

Love all the detail - lovely in b&w

This is great Shanne, I'd never that thought 'crocus'!

Nice patterns in the leaves.

That's pretty cool. Interesting to see how the processing brings out the detail. You don't have to be an insect to follow those lines!
