Hyacinth

Taken indoors with natural light against a white BG. Applied on of my textures and a slight vignette.

Anita, I think this is lovely. I took a peak at your web-site and fell in love w/ your flower images. The overlay is beautiful and is a soft compliment to the Hyacinth. In a perfect world the flower bloom at the top left would be there.:)

Denise: I see what you mean about that one flower. I fear none of the flowers I grow are perfect--I'm not a careful enough gardener. Thanks for visitng my blog!! And, thanks for your encouragement.

Anita, Perfect isn't always a good thing;)

This is simply lovely, Anita! The blue and purple colors are so beautiful, and the texture complements the flowers perfectly. I do wish that the stem was thinner and thus less dominating, but it's not like you can do anything about that. :)

Thanks! I loved the colors! Re the stem: if I were good at cloning, I might thin it, but I'm not that good. I could also try taking a picture from an angle that minimizes the stem. Thanks for mentioning this!

Anita, your flowers are simply beautiful and this one is no exception. I like the textured BG and great masking to keep the flowers clean.

Anita, this is the flower that I crave all winter long - you have the colour just perfect and the stem is as it should be IMO - it is in proportion - simply beautiful :)
Best,
Nicki
