flowers in the former, such as those which adorned thepictures of our ancestors, the sepia suits them so well.

k@ from Paris, France
Oh, the treatment makes them even gorgeous ! As if you were a botanist of the XIXth century who would have discovered a brand new wild flower !

@k@: Flattery will get you everywhere, my dear!! (Thank you for your kind words.)
LauraS from Chico, United States
Very beautifully shot, interesting that you chose no color, so we can focus in on the textures and shapes.
7 May 2009 7:43pm
@LauraS: Part of my reasoning was that I couldn't the bottom part of the flowers as sharp as I wanted in color. A little softness there seems ok in this rendition.
Tracy from La Selva Beach, United States
This treatment really seems to emphasize the form and shape of these flowers! Beautiful! Thank you so much my friend, for thinking of me this week!
