[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a little, kind and charming houseplant called Tillandsia cyanea. I posted previously another macro of it. After i took those shots she pop-upped couple of purple flowers from edgy parts. Now this magenta part of it look pale green with no flowers..:( Sure she's waiting for spring to revive!

* Taken at morning sunlight. I prefer the light coming back from the flower to get glowing edges.
* Used black cardboard and by having the sunlight at back top i tried to get a good matte black.
* macro shot
* exposure -1.0 on Nikon Coolpix 3.2

Hello Elif, this flower is beautiful! And you did a great close-up! The colours are well saturated. Nicely framed with it tiny leaves.

It's a real beauty Elif, such a pretty plant. And from teh sound of it, you are getting lots of enjoyment from it.
I like how you placed it right in the centre. So upright and even - wonderful...
