Native Flowers

So, I have been experimenting with my Macro lens, still getting to know it. I have also been purchasing more and more flowers, just to keep the place fresh.

I have noticed though, flowers don't last long in the Pilbara. The head wilts them, they soak up their water like a sponge, and well, they die. Quickly. (Unfortunately, so do my pot plants...).

So my solution was to buy some native flowers, in the hopes that they would withstand the conditions.

It turns out that these intricate flowers were also very fun to photograph with my macro.

I like this image for the swirl and the seeds and the pods. It may have been a little over edited, and I will need to find a way to deaden the flash I think, and also not to over saturate the colour in editing.

All in all though, I think it works. It is over saturated because I was playing with the contrast. More on that later...
