Just a courgette flower. It had been fully open the previous day and I thought it was beautiful then, but I loved the way it curled up like this afterwards! V2 is a broader view.
Thank you all for your comments and votes on Monomum - have to admit I didn't expect it to do quite so well Smile. Thanks too for stopping by today Smile.
Theresa

EDIT: Purely for information I've added V3, a shot of the flower when it was open - not as sharp as I'd like, as it was quite windy when I took this.

The texture is so good, one can almost feel it. This makes a very sensuous abstract.

Strange. No V2 yet. It would be interesting to see the wider view as I've not even seen a courgette flower before. Intrigued.

Love the abstract shape of the crinkled up bloom, reminds me of an ear! The orangey/yellow with the green veining is gorgeous. Superb image with great hairy details!

'Superb color, tones, details, & composition,' Theresa, on all three images. The 'supermacro v1,' is my favorite & is 'simply gorgeous.'

I thought perhaps you were taking pics of someone under the surgeons knive here Theresa !!
Looks like something that would spill out after a deep cut with the scalpel.
Interesting shots.

Good detail in this Theresa, as in all your images. I don't like to call it work, because that's not what it is, is it?Grin
