July Still Life Stand Out

I am so excited about this new challenge.  It only happens once a month, so I think I can keep up with it.  My Reflection of Something, Perfect Imperfections, and The Mommy Matters are hosting a still life challenge.  It’s simple, upload your favorite still life from the month to their Flickr group (must be done for prize eligibility) or do a blog post.  You can read the detailed requirements on their sites.

This is my favorite (that I haven’t posted already).  I have no idea what these flowers are called.  I don’t know names, I just know pretty.  I added Kim Klassen’s Love texture to it and did a layer mask on the front blooms to keep them nice and crisp.

Textured Tiny buds

I am really happy with how it turned out.  I love it when the photo ends up exactly how I picture it looking when I push the shutter release. 

Why don’t you join in?  I bet you have a still life just waiting to be shared.  I would love to see you there.

  9. I just love the soft color and the texture of this shot! You know, I never really appreciated more subtle flowers like this until I fell in love with macro photography. This photo reminds me of why I adore them now! Gorgeous!
