Silken Authenticity by

One of the tulips left from the bouquet I gave my wife for our anniversary a week ago. I played with the Lensbaby and some texture and came up with this.

I used this in a Diptych I uploaded previously, and I wonder if it works better alone like this.

    Ah, Lensbaby huh. Not tried it yet, but you have done an exquisite series here.
    Weirdly enough, my monitor screen has decided to spend half it’s time showing me the world in an odd sort of olive green tone, which makes commenting on visual art quite a new experience.
    Seems to suit these images quite well!

  • Thrilled with your comments! Thank you for taking time.
