So much beauty in the "ordinary" things of life....still looking and listening.

The dark background here and in yesterday's grevillea photos is a piece of black cardboard. I held it behind the flowers in the garden and took my photos using my other hand. They were taken late afternoon in the shade.

Reena said...

Really like the dark background!

Perfect. The black backdrop enhances the beauty of the flower.

With the black background we see the flower just as it is with all its details, and the flower is wonderful. A flower in natural surroundings is just another expression.

Excellent macro! I too like the dark background.
You really captured all those green veins.
