ReplyDeleteI am with Cherie! Your posts are part of my weekly routine and I am always inspired! Love the texture on both of these wonderful shots!
ReplyDeleteBoth so soft and romantic Ruth. I'd love to crawl into one of those petals and rest awhile. :) Love the gentle use of texture on the second. Thank you for sharing your artwork with Photo Art Friday!
ReplyDeleteOh these are lovely. So soft and delicate. Sigh...
ReplyDeleteYes, the second is my favourite, too. I find these are very similar to the way marigold petals are layered . . . like frilly pink tutus.
ReplyDeleteI love the processing you've done here. The shots have a beautiful vintage look about them. Simply lovely.
ReplyDeleteI love zinnias too. Your textures are gorgeous!

Beautifully done. I agree with you about the beautify of zinnias. I have just this week pulled out my first patch of them - they have lasted for many months, another redeeming feature.

ReplyDeleteLove your shot! Sorry I been so quiet these last couple weeks, I’ve been really ill (now finally diagnosed with Whooping Cough) and have had a very rough week. Thank you for sharing on Weekly Top Shot #31.
