Default Flowers and more flowers

I talked hubby into picking me up a bouquet of flowers yesterday just so I could take the bunch apart, shoot them, and practice different ideas with Photoshop. How crazy is that, especially since I'm allergic to most flowers?

This is the bunch before I took it apart. Got too much shadow in this pic ---

Blue framed

As usual I don't know the names of most of them, but this one was my fave---

Green, green

The pinks in these were stunning---

Three pinks

I think this one is in the orchid family, but I'm not sure---

Small orchids

Hope you enjoy these. Had a blast playing with these shots. Comments are always welcome and much needed. LOL

Wow what a lovely job you did with them. I love the colours in all of them and so much detail. Your hubby was so kind and you did some lovely work sheltiesmama.

Nice work. I too like the pink against the black. You really do a nice job with the use of frames.
