Ellie, Max and I were out for a walk. We came across these perfect flowers. Only when I downloaded them did I realize that they were artificial. That's what comes from not wearing my glasses:)) Happy Silly Tuesday:))

NOTE: yesterday's post was offered primarily to demonstrate that a fine photograph in color does not always render well in monochrome. We need to let the photograph itself show us the way to go. One of the pluses of posting every day is that we can experiment, play, push the envelope, run things up the flag pole to see if anyone will salute. Aminus 3 is not only about posting the best of which we are capable.

Before I read your words, I was thinking, 'oh, these could be silk flowers'.....how funny that you shot them thinking they were au naturel. ;-)

These days it's difficult to distinguish the real from the artificial. Nice shot of the beautifully color flower-wanna-be petals. I like your thinking. Sometimes I wonder why we are collecting hundreds of images that may or more likely won't be looked at again.

They look pretty darned realistic. I had exactly the same thing happen to me. They definitely looked real when I was shooting. Trouble is, I had my glasses on. ;-)
