Swaying in the breeze

For the Cosmic Photo Challenge

I might be entering a new photo phase, arty shots. I was playing around with a picture of the the palm tree out front of the house and this is the result. I must take a realistic photo for comparison, but this is a fun shot.

Fiddling with Fotos

I saw a much better shot of this flower and realised that it was growing in a dilapidated part of my garden. I enjoyed experimenting with different angles. This is the result.

  1. Just cropped to fit.

2. Darker edges and I tried to emphasise the curves.

3. It got wet. I needed to do more with the drops!

4. I ended up liking this shot most. It’s quite unnatural this way. The flower should probably droop downwards.

The light was on the right hand side and the photo was rotated. I liked the angles…

I’ve forgotten what the name of this flower is. It’s quite common and thrives with neglect. Please help out.

Aquilegia

I usually have trouble growing these, but this year I have this one plant with this beautiful flower.
