leathered lilly

My get-pushed partner @blueace suggested that I take something typically considered beautiful and make it "ugly". At first I thought no problem but as the week wore on it gnawed at me but this is what I came up with.

Great texture.

@blueace This is what I came up with. I have some dried calla lily blooms that I've used before but in B&W the texture spoke not normal, kinda ugly to me. Thank you so much for suggesting this to me. I love being made to think outside of my little set of boxes.

This is really interesting - kind of abstract. I like it. Well done :)

@pickerandagrinner Thank you, old dried up flowers are kinda cool. @blueace Thank you, I keep saying that I have to do more B&W.

I love the lighting, and how the different tones are contrasting each other

@sdutoit Thank you, I should have bracketed some with this but got to use an old flower.

Strange and mysterious.

@davidrobinson Thank you so much, truly appreciate it. I gotta admit I got lucky but happy none the less.
