I have two pictures for this weeks Monday Macro……..
…….an elegant, sophisticated, minimalist rose:

………and a sunflower having a bad-hair day:

When I look in the mirror, I kind of identify more with the second picture.
How about you?

love them both….but I have to agree, I identify more with the sunflower.

Great images, love the colours and the softness of the Roses. Would love to have a bad hair day, but it decided to leave a long time ago :>)

The second, sadly.

Oh good! Join the fun club for the non-perfect!

Haha! Love the contrast between the two flowers. Thanks for the giggle.

I keep trying to get good pictures of sunflowers . I’ll keep trying!

Helen, both are truly wonderful. If this is you trying, I can’t wait to see what you do when you get the result you want. You accomplished something that is not easy by capturing a creative shot of a sunflower that is not perfect and making it look interesting. Great job.

Thanks for your kind words. I enjoy the challenge of trying. Maybe my next sunflower will have even worse hair!

You are too funny! I hope your next sunflower has bad hair too.
