Summer snowflake......Viburnum.....


I have the sun over my right shoulder and I am wearing a bright red summer pull over shirt. The sun reflected off of my shirt an onto the flowers.  That is such a nice thing as they really are pure white.


Another special effect was the drama that the sun gave me with high contrast. The shadows make it almost seem like a black and white.

Both pictures are very beautiful! The red from your shirt makes that first photo so unique.

I like the way the shadows turn the petals grey in the second picture. A complete difference to the pink hue from your shirt in the first.

How very cool that they reflected your shirt! I don't think I've ever smelled anything so wonderful as viburnum!
