Default Some Pretty Flowers

Hello everone. I have been playing a lot with flowers lately due to the great British weather. (Rain)
My good friend Tycooder gave me this quote from his wife which he used in one of his great posts.
"If you change the way you look at things the things you look at will change"
How right she was.
Here are a couple that I was happy with. I hope you enjoy.

White Flower

Good morning Dave. What a beautiful pair to greet you in the morning The 1st is a wonderful blend of a delicate white subject just blossoming from a wonderful muted yet colorful backround. Great capture my friend The 2nd is a beautiful I Hydrangea I believe and this is a plant with such varied colors that you
could do a whole project on and you have captured it perfectly Great job my friend. Thanks for the Mrs.B mention.

Two quality photographs.
Both pictures have the essential ingrediant of viewer appeal and would grace any home if framed, mounted and hung on the wall.
Two instant winners David, and thank goodness for a little rain, well done buddy

Excellent photos particularly the second with it's warm pastel coloring and composition.

OK, echoing all the previous comments here...I really like the single white flower against the dark blue background and the other muted colors. It's stylish and colorful as well.

Both beautiful photos Dave. The simplicity in the first really sets it apart and the second is just so beautifully pink.
