African Daisies

[Paul Abbott]

This is a subject I rarely shoot, or have the chance too. I found these along a Thames towpath while on my rounds.

Iike your work a lot

but this
does not move me

maybe look deeper=
is there a flower/flowers that says something

I have a friend{male} that looks so deep into flowers
actually I love portraits but he has taught me much from humans/ and all things alive-
look

we are all alive

the picture is so-so- and please forgive me -- my opinion

focus is great! I am as well trying* I don't know a lot-

Paul,

Since it's not a building, I need some company for this picture of natural life. I like it but would love to see more from the walk. From a walk one should have more flowers!!

Hi Paul

I really like this, as you know flowers are my subject, but I rarely convert to b&w, I think it works really well here and is perfectly suited to these Osteospermums. Well done!

Thanks for your replies.

Charlotte, no worries. In this shot there is nothing much to be said other than form, light and texture. Personally for me, my eyes dart from each flower head just like a bee would, never leaving the scene.

Just the one shot i'm afraid, Asher. There was no other.

Thanks, Janet. I've always considered flowers to work well in B&W, they hold a lot of texture, tones and form for this reason alone, I guess.
