A more subtle variation on your dark garden period! That second flower is amazing. Hyper-real!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, Pete. Yes, I really like that one. Just exploring the colour possibilities - from very mild salmon pink to Jezebel lipstick RED in the first image! Dark Spring returns!

Oops, forgot to add this one...

The red tulip is silk and the one below it is velvet.
Beautiful Rob. (I mean the flowers)

Stunning Rob glad you posted the last image it is quite something else other than a budding tulip. Fantastic forms like them a lot.

 

[Pete Askew]

I agree, the form of the unopened flower is very nice. Shame about the leaves in the foreground. Wouldn't Susan have liked a nice bouquet?!

 

[Pete Askew]

All in the name of art of course!

Love that last budding shot Rob - lovely sense of 'magic' in these images

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, gents. Not bad for a 'landscape' camera.

You stunned me there for a moment Tom, so did Rob.

Oh, Ivar, I'm very used to people saying I'm beautiful

Love the last one of the bud - fantastic light and shape. Good job on all of them, Rob.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, Keith. The light was amazing that night. It was just a case of point and shoot. Really. I couldn't believe my luck.
