Title: CHAT thread weekly competition 11-19th July Subject: FLORA dead or alive
Post by: Reinardina on July 11, 2015, 01:42:43 PM
Chat Thread.

An easy one this one: Flora, dead or alive, and I don't mean the girl Flora, nor the margarine, but flowers.
Single, multiple, in abundance, alive and growing or dead and desiccated. From the sumptuous rose macro, to the poor daisies in H's dry noodle lawn. Arranged or disorganised; in short, I hope to see a lot of different interpretations of the brief.

No restrictions on PP, so let the creative juices flow, if you feel so inclined.

Struggling with this.

I was hoping to find some beautifully decaying flowers, but of course, I haven't come across any. (And haven't got the time to go looking for them.)

I definitely do not want a 'normal' flower photograph, as others are much better at that.

I've now narrowed it down to two possibilities, and will have to make up my mind soon.
