Aiming a dim green light shows the dusty texture of a red flower.

A drop placed on a wilting yellow rose.

A dying/wilting flower strongly concentrate it's color. This flower had only hints of purple when fresh.

Intense yellow over electric green.

Tried very hard to centralize focus. These reminded me of raw pistachios.

Two beautiful sisters grinning ear to ear.

Stamen escaping from aggressive lighting.

Rose losing its color at the end of life. I just moved and am very happy to be posting again. Peace to everyone.

Love the depth of color here.

A magical color gifted by nature. Zero Photoshop...this is just what Mother Earth gave me.

Trying to capture the intricacy of the stamens and show the transparency of the petals.

Blue water drops placed on a purple leaf. No Photoshop used for this one...which I am kind of proud of.

Extremely hot orange flower with high amount of detail. Reminds me of a Fall sunrise.

Red is typically a difficult color to shoot for me. But the incredibly rich color of this complex and beautiful rose speaks loudly for itself.

Lovely orange and brown remind me of fall colors and the impending winter.

Infant Blooms Growing Toward Their Elders

Placed a single drop on this cool little pod. Reminded me of the Jetson's car.

The color of this flower was more white than pictured. A little green light from the front gives it more of a "minty," color.

Frozen bouquet flower. This was not the most attractive bloom so I froze it to give it some interest.

The gold seems to be running from the orange. I love the clash of colors here.

Attempting to prioritize detail with the center of the flower. At the same time I was looking to bring out soft but detailed background grass. Nikon Macro Lens.

The orange color of this flower is almost hard to look at.

Colored water on a flailing flower.

Droplets get smaller as they move into the rose's center void. Don't blink...those drops don't stay in place very long.

Part of a series of dried flowers I am working on. Just three roses past their prime.

Interesting shaped stamens coming from a lily.

Rusty little fingers. Lots of detail in the lonely flower stamens.

Small cluster of purple blooms.

Blue light seeping from the drop.

A little purple splatter across the soft white petals.

Each stamen looks to be going in its own direction.

Very close up on the edge of a red flower.

White petals flowing reminds me of a jellyfish. Zero post production on this one.

Three colors of water on a pinkish white petal.

See the nose and eyes? The purple hue looks like it is glowing but that is unmodified. The inside of the pods have a purple hue and if you catch them just right with the right temperature light, they seem to glow.

My favorite colors in a flower. Tried to get the focus point small and precise.

This was a light purple and white flower. I used a couple different purple light sources to get the different intensities.

The orange petal remind me of orange hair after a really bad wind storm.

Orange drop placed inside the petals of a white flower's wispy leaves.

Lines au naturel in this agate.

Catching up!...Hi all, as promised I am back again on flickr after a short break. Well, my flickr friends, with this rose I would like to say hello again and is anxiously looking forward to your amazing postings respectively!...

Nikon D90 + Tamron SP 90mm + Ringflash + Handheld.

White flower with red drops blasted with green light.

This was a 3 day process. I used several different coloring and overlapped them to get this shot. At first, I felt like I polluted something beautiful. But the "ugly" result has a beauty all its own.

I normally stay away from "modified" flowers but the painted on crystals intrigued me for some reason.
