Description

Before I give any information about today’s upload let me first voice a great big thank you for the HC award given to my image Déjà-vu - Mono style. It is a grand reward for the work I put into it.

Thank you also to wyatturp (Douglas Wyatt) and to davidhu (David Humphreys) for their User Awards.

Todays upload is possible because a neighbor kindly let me take some cuttings from her blooming apricot tree.

I took the branches home and tried some different ways to capture these gorgeous blossoms.

Thanks for looking, and make it a great day.

Anne

Excellent and a lovely piece of work Anne, really appeals to me this one. The lighting is super and together with the pink against the black background best described as evil. Needs to be printed large and hung on the wall, it's pictures like this that turn a house into a home. Smashing.
