Flowers are definitely overrated so I thought I’d change perspective.
I started out with the idea of taking a macro photo of the centre of a yellow chrysanthemum, but all of the resulting images simply looked like broccoli gone terribly wrong!
Then I noticed the subtle contrasts of the edge of the petals against the soft out-of-focus petals behind. The effect was simply stunning and I did what every self-respecting child would do: I threw the broccoli in the waste when no one was looking!
Enjoy yellow! 🙂
