Gus, I always find spirals in nature visually stimulating, and have often been drawn to their expression in flowers. I recently hijacked my wife's anniversary roses to do studies similar to this. The color palette here is very similar to your previous post, and I find the complementary colors pleasing. As much as flowers have been photographed by others, I still photograph them, and I'm glad you do too, because I like your presentation of them. Very nice!
Gus, that is just outstanding. The color is so awesome. Those purple swirls look like a ribbon. I love seeing your floral images, and can't wait to see some more.
