[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Flowers play silent melodies. All one has to do to hear it, is patiently watch for their awakening when they're ready to sound.


* I took these photos in my backyard. Each picture is a different flower, but I cropped and angled the pictures to make it seem like they are all the same flower in different stages of it's life. Positioning the triptych with white edging was a challenge but I managed in the end! Hope you all like it.

very creative, i like the way you have split the flowers growth in three, nice contrast aswell... TFS...martha

Cool idea and nice composition Linda. The DOF was spot on. I like the way you've presented this sequence in a triptych on a white canvas.

The only thing I would have changed would have been to take the pictures with a lower exposure. There are some blown-out areas that make the details in the whites lost. It's always easier to correct an under-exposed photo than it is to correct an over-exposed one.

wow! in Latvia we call it an Angel's Horn (Trumpet or similar - don't know exactly which word to use). i once had one with over 300 buds (flowers). unfortunatelly, the next year it had just a few and this year it didn't survive at all..

but about your photo - well done! technically your triptych is quite o.k. and the way you've found similar flowers to make look them as the same one is well done!

What to say?
Again perfect photo from you.
I like your idea.
Composition is good on all of them just like macro is.
Fantastic colours.
They are not to light or to dark.
Just like they have to be.
Congrats.

I like your idea of showing the stages of the flower maturing process even though you had combined images. Good job. In the USA this plant is called "Jimson Weed" and was painted many times by Georgia O'Keeffe.
