WW- Cephalaria in decline
. I often find that flowers in their decline are even more interesting than when they are in their full glory. This week's entry for the Tuesday and Wednesday editions of Wordless Wednesday.
I also like the way flowers look after the full glory. There is so much going on with this flower and it looks like seeds are being set in the center. Great shot.
Be sure to join me on Thursday for the first official Then and Now Thursday. This meme is a chance to look back at how life has changed over the years. http://secretmomthoughts.blogspot.com/2009/07/then-and-now.html
The color scheme is perfect for this photo. Have a good one.

Sherry, Secret Mom Thoughts. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThe lighting is sweet on this. How did ya get the color here it is so soft and muted.
ReplyDeleteTHe lighting is the product of using a ring flash and a well stopped down lens. THe colour is just from reducing saturation!
