Last resort

A fading flower with plenty of pollen, a backlight and the macro lens. The last resort...

[Richard Sayer]

Last resort for you - first choice for me!

[Helen Jane]

love the high key approach to this. great composition with those radiating stamen making a lovely curve across the picture.

[Clare Gadsby]

[gloria jones]

Terrific image...great composition

[Marnie]

Pretty darned good last resort, I like this shot very much, it appeals to me.

Ethereal and with just enough sharp crisp detail in spots. Fav. I agree that flowers are an important fall back when creativity is waning.

@vignouse too kind of you, Richard. Thank you!
@helenhall thank you! Exploring the smallest is always an exercise in composition, for me
@pistache thanks a lot. You know, when ideas are at the historic lowest...

Some thing comes out brilliantly when you are in desperation.

[Domenico Dodaro]

@yaorenliu Thank for the inherent compliment! Undeservedly, but I agree that boredom and desperation are the ground for great inventions!

[Francesca Ciarrocchi]

Great result! Fav...

[Domenico Dodaro]

@frappa77 Thank you Francesca!

[Margo Sayer]

Looks like a still from a Hitchcock film...before the scary/spooky bits. Excellent diversion.
