Water Flower by andycoleborn

Water Flower

Having started going back to the gym, I seem to struggle some days for a photo, luckily, I still have some roses just about hanging onto life so decided to combine one of the blooms with a water shot this evening.

So once home, I celotaped this rose to the shower head, turned on the tap and snapped away.. trying to avoid water splashing onto the lens!

Not sure whether I like the processing I did here or not.. Kept looking at this and a few others, giving them a tweak here and there, but finally decided I should stop and go and cook some dinner...

Two albums.. 56 photos in February of which 7 were of flowers! That's 12.5% of my pics were flowers! Think I need more varied subject material for these 'struggle days'..

Off work tomorrow for another drive down to Portsmouth and another game of footie... Have also booked the week off at the end of the month.. Not going anywhere, just relax at home for the week... can't wait...
Very pretty!

I think this is beautiful. Like everyone else, I like the muted colors. And the water gives it added pizazz.
