I'm not a great taker of flowers but I've a friend who drags me off to various flower places (she even submits to various flower mags), so I have taken the odd shot. And, like all my photography, I'll consider taking a shot of anything if it inspires me!
Put together theese shots in response to Rob suggesting
http://www.pixalo.com/community/phot...errr-17037.htm that to get a different flower shot you have to do something funky. I submit these aren't funky but I do hope they're interesting!
#1
Some sort of cactus thing, taken at Bristol Botanical Garden (just before they moved, so not much there!)
#2
A licheny weird macro - taken at the foot of Pen y Fan
#3
Backlit plant against the red rock of Uluru
#4
Spiny plant at National Botanical Garden of Wales
#5
Flower with seeds trapped in a web at National Botanical Garden of Wales
Hopefully you'll agree that they're slightly different and slightly interesting!
