Andrea B. Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 These are fetching, intriguing photographs with artistic merit as well as botanic value. They would make such a nice set of prints, simply framed. So nicely composed upon the plain background. Link to comment
Cadmium Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Dave, These are quite interesting. Thanks! Link to comment
DaveO Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 The closer I get the closer I want to get. I guess it's my minimalist period. Learning more and more about less and less. I suppose the red colour is probably due to an anthocyanin pigment which absorbs blue and green light so only red gets reflected, Then if you throw in an underlying blue fluorescence as in the stamens you may finish up with the purple colour. Thanks for your comments Dave Link to comment
