Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.
Edward Weston
Don't tell me, you were so bored you were dancing round with this between your teeth like Carmen Miranda. That would explain the gobbets of spittle. Yuk.
I'm not a flower fan but have to admit this is very good. The black background is terrific.
Jan, seems to be that everyone who is bored is posting the most beautiful images. You're not an exception this rule. Just wonderful.

"Where there is perhaps a province in which the photograph can tell us nothing more than what we see with our own eyes, there is another in which it proves to us how little our eyes permit us to see." ~Dorothea Lange
"The more we come in contact with animals, and observe their behaviour, the more we love them, for we see how great is their care for their young." - philosopher Immanuel Kant
"Imperfection is beauty; madness is genius & it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring. And when it comes down to it, I let them think what they want. If they care enough to bother with what I do, then I'm really better than them."--Marilyn Monroe
I wish I looked this good when I was bored Jan :)
Awesome lighting here. The color of this flower is amazing! You are growing this in your house? Wow, I want one of these! This went right to my favorites. I saw it featured on the front page as a TNI (Top New Image). Congrats!!
All of earth is crammed with heaven And every bush aflame with God But only those who see take off their shoes. - Elizabeth Barrett Browning<p>
