Squash Blossom in Black and White

Our neighbors have a small vegetable garden but are off island. My plan was to help weed and deadhead. But I picked up my camera on my way out the door, and well, the rest was pretty predictable.

What cool lines! Your comments made me giggle! Predictable indeed!

A wonderful capture and stunning image. The blossom looks a bit like a skinny pig face with an eye ;-)

[Taffy]

@ludwigsdiana Cool that you noticed the face. I thought it was a skinny horse's head.

[Graeme Stevens]

excellent processing and DOF

Beautifully curvaceous (I'm going with pig's head)!

Amazing curves and textures - you can not miss that skinny boar's head , tusks and all !! fav

[Babs]

Super shot. You have to get your priorities right, photography always comes first.

[Casablanca]

It looks like a sad dragon to me, head bowed, looking down. Or maybe a very old one.

[Pam Knowler]

Good deeds deserve results! Great black & white image!

How very lovely in black and white. It could be many things. A horse's head. A sea horse. A unicorn. Or just a squash blossom perhaps. Lovely in any case.

This has such incredible depth to it - those lines of light and shadow draw you right into the background.
