 This is an old flower I had pressed in a journal from a trip to Asia. I made a makeshift "lightbox" with a piece of white stained glass and a clamp-on worklight below. The hue comes from the incandescent bulb. 3 shots combined in Photomatix. Some adjustments in Topaz, levels, crop, resize for DPC.

Art. Tremendous concentration. (Quite apart, I suspect the flower was blue, but I am not sure, and I cannot name it).

7 - Nice study - especially like the perfectly pressed/preserved stamens, anthers & (I think) stigma.

Delightfully different - a very nice literal slice of a flower's life.

Lovely shot...this flower almost looks fossilised

This is my favourite one from this challenge. It's unique and different. I love the layers and the glowing colour. You've captured a flower's soul in your photo. Beautiful 10.

What a wonderful way to tackle this subject. I love the avoidance of bright colour. Amazing.
