photographyonI am starting with flowers since they seem like the most popular type of shot here. The flowers do not need to be outside and you can interpret, or misinterpret, this prompt however you like.
Make a post with your shot at any time. The only rule is to use new work only, pictures taken after I make the prompt post, for the challenge response. Feel free to post old work in other posts or as comments to this post so you can give advice or ask for advice.
In the comments to this post, chat about what makes a good flower picture.
