@Andrea B. , is this addition a nuisance?

do I have to remove them from your post?

We usually have just one person's work per topic in the botanical section. So I will make a topic with your examples.

Andrea is not very "technical" like yours, I didn't think it was worth starting a new post
it's an interpretation (of lens and filters) different from yours ... with a lot of blur :)

But it is interesting to see the flower photographed with different filters !!! We welcome additional examples. I will make a nice topic here for you.

In the third and fourth photos, on the right, you can see a bud emerging from the group of flowers.
this will be a new "nest" of flowers, then still others.
