withered tulip by summerfield

withered tulip

the tulip from seven days ago at the start of the challenge. in its withering stage, the red figment has gotten stronger and the yellow figment is now only visible in the top edges of the petals, but the textured lines on the petals, however, are more noticeable and pronounced.

i'd have posted a better subject but all my shots this morning were blurry. it was so cold i didn't realize my hands were shaking from being frozen, and i couldn't save any with post-processing.

thank you for your kind visits and comments; they are truly and genuinely appreciated. and thank you also for the nice comments and encouragement about my flower shop gig on wednesday.
Pretty- a lot of my shots were a bust today too. Jeff has been home for 3 days now. That about sums it up!!

Black and white definitely brings out the text you're in these panels! Terrific catch!

@summerfield %^&*# as soon as I re-read my comment I knew what you were going to say!! This is what I get for trying to cut corners with voice to text and NO glasses!! Let me try this again the old fashioned way!

Black and white definitely brings out the texture in these petals! Terrific catch!
Maybe I can invent a Rosetta Stone program to interpret my texts! or even better, maybe you can! ;~}
