On The Ball Dahlia

I like photographing dahlias, especially the ball variety shown below. 

I made both of these images at Cannington Walled Gardens and I've gone for a very different treatment of each. This is unusual, as I generally try to match images in an individual post.

Anyway, first up a mono image.

Now, a colour image.

I do have a mono version of this second image, which I also like - tbh, I think that this is much the stronger image of the two.

Leaf, Inverted

Inverted image of a leaf made at the Walled Gardens of Cannington using a Sony Alpha 77.

I don't usual go in for heavy post-processing, but my son encouraged me to try inverting this image after desaturating it, and it kind of works.

As an aside, it was originally an image made during the Cannington visit.
