Fresh Picked Flowers

Uploaded: February 09, 2009

Description

...from the grocery store that is!

My arrangement for "studio" lighting is quite primitive. The flowers were
placed on TV trays by a slider facing southern exposure and lots of warm sunlight pouring in the window .An old remnant of fabric placed as a BG over it all. No textures applied but I did BuZZ out the fabric layer and liked the pattern it created.

This is what I was attempting when you called, SiS!!!
