glad

Why is it the only gladioli to survive were the white ones.. not the beautiful red or purple striped ones...

[Domenico Dodaro]

They are beautiful though!

[Joan Robillard]

Beautiful - are you anywhere near the fires. The pictures from NZ today are beautiful and scary.

[Claes]

Yet they seem so fragile and subtle when you capture them against that background with a few (tear-)droplets on.
As already said, beautiful!

[Shell]

I love the delicate detail. A fav

[Krista Marson]

Beautiful still life, nevertheless!

[JackieR]

This is beautiful Kali!

[JackieR]

Kali, we've been partnered together and I thought I'd ask you to do a landscape, but not just any landscape an intimate landscape.

If this isn't challenging enough leg me know, I'll think up somethink else.

[Saxa van Eijnsbergen]

White is the color of new beginnings :-)

Love the processing

[kali]

@30pics4jackiesdiamond i think i do that a lot when i am in the landscape and its not the first time i have had this as a challenge, but then its a challenge to use the prompt in a new way so i will read your links and see what i can do .

[JackieR]

OK, or............ how about "The Five Senses", picked randomly from my Phrase and Fable book?!

[kali]

@overalvandaan ok, there is that i suppose.... never liked white flowers much, if i get them in an assortment i feel dissapointed!

[Dianne]

They are elegant flowers and I like your take.

[kali]

@30pics4jackiesdiamond how about i use the five senses to choose my intimate landscape? lol something will come of it i am sure :)

[kali]

@runner365 i replaced the background! was too busy with scattered points of light

[kali]

@joansmor no i am not near them, i am on the west coast of NZ, we saw the smoke in the air a few days ago, it has moved up the country,

[Louise]

Lovely shot

[Saxa van Eijnsbergen]

For some reason I associate white flowers with funerals and very formal places.

[JackieR]

@kali66 perfect!!!

[Kara]

Very lovely!!

[kali]

@overalvandaan it is hard for me to analyse my aversion, i dont like wearing white either, or white decor, i think it shows up imperfection so much more starkly, and it seems cold .

[Helen Jane]

I think they look great on the background with the bark texture. I would be very happy with these white flowers in my garden. You photographed them expertly - there is so much character and detail to them.

[Jean]

It is beautiful!

[Claes]

@kali66 Ohh, well just ohh ...

[Wendy]

I much prefer the purity of the white ones to the coloured ones! A beautiful capture!

[Jane Pittenger]

I prefer the white too and you got the exposure right on

[Clare Gadsby]

glorious detail. i always love a white flower :)

[haskar]

Beautiful capture.

[Rachel Withey]

I love this. The contrast is fantastic

[kali]

[Shutterbug]

[Lynda]
