Description

Lavatera blossoms from Ann's garden. The background was just leaves and patches of light, and the contrast was too harsh, so I got rid of it. .......... Edit note: Although I noticed the color-coordinated "spider" when I was postworking this shot, it didn't really register until Denise mentioned it. I have no idea why there's a 12-legged hot pink spider in the blossom on the right! LOL! Perhaps it's sexual dimorphism. Anybody know?

Oooh, I like this...great post work, and your comment on the post work and your reasons for doing it reminded me of a Japanese saying: if a nail sticks up, hammer it down. I don't know how or why that stuck in my head, but there you have it. Great work here, and the darkened background really calls attention to the colors and play of delicate textures.
