About George Petrovsky

An old photographer and his dog trying to come to grips with what turns an ordinary photograph into a worthwhile picture. (For whom?) Perhaps strive to take a worthwhile photograph in the first place? The digital darkroom is a creative, fascinating place. Now, if only I could learn to use it and the cameras I have properly……

Now, you know all my stuff is Copyright. If you try and pinch any of it, I’ll jump through your screen and rip your bloody arms off!

    Lovely colour, great composition and depth of field George.

  • Thanks for adding these delicate little beauties to your favourites, Tony. As you know, 3D flowers are tricky to capture whole in any detail, so I’m glad you like this result. :)george
