OCOLOY Day 17: A budding star takes centre stage...

...a detail from a posy, a gift from our Friday evening dinner guest.

This image is SOOC and is part of my ongoing OCOLOY project - you can read more about it in my post for 1 January and in my profile.
So classic:)

Thanks for directing me back to your your first OCOLOY post... I've been enjoying these images but have been wondering that OCOLOY stood for!

Lovely shot of the flowers, especially the rose bud in the center.

To be honest, I miss seeing this one in color.

Nice DOF. The rose bud looks perfect.

@essiesue You can't miss what you've never had Sue ;-)) Yes, it's 'pretty' in colour but I would have published this in B&W anyway without my challenge constraints because I wasn't going for pretty, I was trying to portray the emotion that flowers can draw from us and the vivid colours, especially the bright orange of the lilies, would have masked that I feel.

Beautiful - love the soft focus around the edges.

@vignouse
Well, I just called my son, Jaxxon, to see what he thought of your photo and explanation and he totally understands where you are coming from but I'm void of emotion when it comes to beautiful florals in b& w. Despite the fact that I don't agree I still consider you the authority (most of the time). :-)
