ATTENTION!!!
There is no longer a "next Sunday" posting deadline. You can grab your camera, take your photo, and post it in this thread any time you wish to.
Hi everyone,
Would you like to participate in the Weekly Photo Challenge? Just take a photo that is your interpretation of the theme and post it in this thread.
- Your photo(s) should be your own, i.e., they should not have been taken by someone else.
- Photoshopping is allowed, but should be kept to the basics only rather than a total transformation.
- Grab your camera, experiment, and, most of all, have fun.
NOTE
This week’s theme comes with a twist. The idea is to capture just ONE single flower. So, grab your camera and . . . Happy ONE Flower Hunting!

These are from my garden. Please don't ask me what they are, I don't know a daisy from a daffodil !! Perhaps one of our enlightened members will know. I don't have a Macro lens so these are cropped images.   |

Rose Josephine Bruce taken last night in the rain in my garden macro lit with flash only. I am very pleased this came out as I visualised it, this rose is very difficult to photograph to get the deep colour right.  Rose Josephine Bruce by Mark Rainbird, on Flickr |

The only out of camera processing I did on this image was to use the tone curve in the XXL plugin for PSE to boost the contrast via an s curve.  |

This fellow makes paper flowers and sells them for a couple bucks on the street corner. Here's a photo of him with a single example of his art in process.  Thanks for the theme Sepiana!! |

Phil, no need for a macro lens! You nailed the "one flower" angle with the DOF you used -- spot-on focus on the flower, blurred background. Great job!

Frank, you really captured the beauty of the Passion flower with all its details -- tendrils, crown, etc. Amazing shot! I smiled when I saw your entry. My pantry is well stocked with Passion flower tea; my fridge is holding the juice and the "real" thing (the fruit).  |

I am very pleased this came out as I visualised it, this rose is very difficult to photograph to get the deep colour right. Mark, the dark and blurry background really made this beautiful rose stand out. The rain drops added another dimension to this image. It is a classic! |

Haven't got a clue what the flower is. My favourite paperweight. I stood it on green paper.  |
