This morning I was thinking about my next post on Steemit and leafing through photographs in my photo archive.
One of the folders contained photographs of flowers that I took at that time when many flowers in particular roses had already begun to fade and lose their former beauty if we talk about this by the standards of a person who comes to a flower shop to buy a bouquet of flowers for beloved wife.
And if he sees flowers in this condition he will not buy such a bouquet but will go looking for fresher-looking flowers.
I treated these photographs of flowers like a fisherman who was fishing but didn’t catch anything and decided to try catching crayfish so that he could have at least some food for lunch lol.
You can call these photographs unpromising and the first contenders to be sent to the trash but again this is by human standards.
What I like about flowers besides their beauty at a certain period is that flowers do not have complexes like people before their age when the time comes that erases the former beauty from the face.
Flowers don’t go to cosmetologists, don’t buy anti-wrinkle creams for themselves they respect their own age and wait for next spring to show everyone their genuine beauty again.
I'm human and it's hard to go against my nature lol I'm not puzzled by my own beauty but I decided to decorate these unattractive photographs a little and present these fading flowers in a slightly different form.
If roses could think like people then the brain of a fading rose would always retain the memory of its former beauty and this is exactly what I showed in the first photograph.
The scarlet rose was also close to fading but I still managed to catch the moment of its vigorous flowering and also worked on the photograph.
The beauty of the scarlet rose and cream rose that you will see below was greatly diminished by the quality of my photography and I decided to correct this a little.
The yellow rose began to look like something that could hardly be called a rose the time had come for her to reflect on its former beauty.
Young rosebuds could still be seen next to the old flowers and they helped me create an atmosphere of reflection.
The culprit for the fact that this rose was unattractive was my haste I did not pay enough attention to the quality of the photograph at the time of taking the photograph and this needed to be corrected.
This angle of roses complemented the previous photograph.
Apparently my hand shook when I took this photo and the image became slightly cloudy.
I worked with several layers of the same photograph changing the sharpness and transparency trying to achieve a mother-of-pearl effect on the petals and sharpness of the photograph as a whole.
Let the flowers forgive me for this photo experiment I know that they are beautiful without my interference in their personal life lol.
Zoom in on a photo for a closer view.
