It has a paper flower look to it. Pretty.

And soon you'll have a gourd too. Love the texture and the framing.

A crumply little sucker isn't it?...the center all drawn up into a fist...very nice.

Look at the texture of those petals! I like how you have cropped this, too.

Lovely whites, against that nice BG color. Nice detail, too.

That's a Bear_Music monitor calibration tester.

Look again - it's the top of the F in the PROOF watermark. :)


LOL, now that you mention it I can see it ;-)

Lovely! The stem on the right is slightly distracting, but overall a very good shot. Excellent lighting and DOF. I love that the veins are showing in the back petals and underside of the leaf.

Lovely detail of the veins through the petals. I like the way you have just the one leaf showing as a foil behind the white petals.

Gourd plants have flowers too, Brad; where do you think the gourd comes from? Immaculate conception? We shall follow thee to Jerusalem!

Cast off the shoe and follow the gourd the holy gourd of Jerusalem

those add on glass do a great job, thinking of getting 1 or 2 to play with myself

Great detail on the flowers and the colors are nice! The back ground is nice and accents the white flower nicely!

my, how gourd-geous!! Really wonderful detail of the stamen & the petals, and a white flower at that!

Actually, the yellow squash flowers are quite delish to eat: pick them early am when they are open, dredge in egg & breadcrumbs & then sautee in olive oil flavored with a bit of garlic..yummy. Even better with mayo!
Thanks Brad, now I'm hungry! :)
