RADIANCE

Yup, you've seen a lot of flower centers on this blog. Can't help it. They're one of my favorite sorts of photos to take. And even if I take a picture of a full flower I frequently find myself more drawn to what's going on in the very center so wind up cropping the photo. In this new one I love that wee bit of reflection of the golden stamens on the petal just above them to the right. (I'm assuming it's a reflection; maybe it's pollen dusted off by busy bees or a color fluke by the camera?) I also just enjoy the curves and shapes of the petals. Sometimes these rose centers give me a sense of very soft silk being blown around, but this one looks more like taffeta. There's something a wee bit crisp about it. If "Radiance" were the only type of photo I were producing these days I might get worried I'm stuck in a rut. But I'm not stuck, just voluntarily returning in order to enjoy wandering through it. :-)
