Pure silk

[LaFoto]

This one makes me quite happy...

I took this one last Wednesday in our garden and only scanned the print and re-framed it (to square) - I hadn't framed the upright rectangle photo too well... erm... yeah...

But the rest is all natural sunlight and natural background.
I'm so happy to see that the silk-effect that my eyes saw comes out in this photo, too.

is that a real flower?

I do like the colors and the light in this photo.

It is.
It has by now whithered, but last Wednesday morning it still presented itself just like this. In the early morning sun.
Yes.

Wow LaFoto, what a beautiful effect!

I have take lots of photos of flowers before and I've never been able to capture one with such an amazing texture as yours.

What a pity that the beauty in nature is so transitory, right? But just to show you that "my tulip" is a real flower, indeed, here a digital (point and shoot) photo taken of the same this afternoon (some three hours ago) - without ever even WANTING to create anything "artistic" or so:

Silk flower is really strong. I love the specular highlights (generally a no no). The color and texture make me quite happy as well!!!

Extra credit for using the word transitory!
