Flowers? Yes, please!

Ooh, I like the cleverness of the last one. And yet, it still is beautiful.

1, 2, 7 and 10 are my favorites. Very nice quotes all around. We have such creative people here on YWS! *is jealous*

Very nice. *thumbs up*

Spring, you do not fail to satisfy. I'm speechless, but I'm going to force some words out anyways and make this a review.



1.) Red Rose on Black
Nice. I love the reflectiveness of the black table/wall/box thing. The only thing you could have possibly done, and maybe not if your camera did this itself, would have been to make the leaf not so blurry.

2.) Pink Flower on Black
I... I just... There has to be an adjective in this crazy language to explain. How 'bout, "wow". The water is awesome, and that very slight angle is perfect. Just enough leaves, and the black was a nice choice again. Thumbs up. Wow.

3.) White Flower on White
This would've been better somewhere else, because I have BOOM, red and black, and then BOOM, pink and black, and then BOOM... who's gettin' hitched? Don't get me wrong, great photo, but it just doesn't go with the previous ones. Oh, and there's that one little speck in the lower left hand... see it, right... there... yeah. That one.

4.) White Flower and Apple on White
Looks better with a like picture behind it. So now, onward. I would've like more in focus then just that one petal, and the apple doesn't do much for me except distraction, and I'm easily distracted.

5.) Red Rose on Piano
A: The angle is a little too strong for my tastes.
B: The piano could use a dusting.
C: The rose is wilting.
D: The piano has watermarks.
E: The lighting looks amateur compared to your amazing other pics.
Otherwise? Awesome.

6.) White Flower on Windowsil
This is my favorite. Or top favorite, anyways. The rain looks really nice, and for some reason I'm hearing rain on the window even thought it's as dry as a doornail outside. The angle is great, and the only thing I woul've like was for that one Browning bud to have been pinched off. Otherwise, A+ Spring.

7.) Martian Flower
Um, I can't review this because I have no idea what the heck this is and I'm to busy wondering if it's from this planet or not to think about it, so I'll just go with the actual photography. I think the angle is nice, although I woul've actually like something in the very back. A cat, a computer, a pencil, just something.

8.) White Flower on Black
There you go, we got the white on the black. Looks. Great. Read the review for B. Oh, and next time, pinch off the brown junk. Me no likey.

9.) Purple Flower
My brain is too overwhelmed with beauty and "Aw, these make my pictures look like garbage" to think straight now, but I'll try to continue. ... ... ...Nope, nothin's coming. Here, if I talk like a hillbilly, my true form, I'll be able to talk:

Well, dis wad jud down-rite perty. Yer good at dis here phoh-toe takin' bidness. Carry on, you liddle varmintz.

Ah, that felt good. Okay, now allow me to translate:

Very beautiful picture, and the flower is really pretty. The zoom is really good, and I like the leaves. You are so good at photography! *eyes turn green with envy* Please take more, my brain might melt if you don't.

10.) Oranjiro Rose on Something and Black
Wow, that rose petal looks just like fabr-- Oh, it is. Ahem, okay, I don't like the ribbon to the side. The metal thing might have been better, in my opinion at least, if it were closer to the flower all around. But the black was nice.


Whew, that was fun! You are really good, Spring!

Thanks very much Gryphon and Texan for the reviews! Much appreciated. :)

I see what you're saying about the rose on the piano; that's the only photo out of these I had to photoshop; I actually shot it with flash and tried to tone the side effects of it down a bit, thus the water/dust-looking effects on the photo. The whole point of using the flash was to have the red of the rose stand out. :P Not sure how well that was executed.


Haha, also! It's not a martian flower! It's a horse-chestnut flower; they're a little strange-looking, but they are from earth. :P

Thanks again!

x June

June, dear! I so love your photos! I still have one of those on photo bucket you were wondering which one to enter the contest as my wallpaper ;)

Well, I'm not so good with photos so the only thing I can tell you from my ignorance is:

- The first one is absolutely breath taking.
- The piano could use a dusting. I forget to clean mine sometimes too xD
- The seventh flower (which name I can't even imagine) is very peculiar, and the way you captured it was very nice, making it stand out.
- The last one is very interesting :D

They're flower pictures. Mostly, there's nothing wrong with them ;)

Keep that camera on!

i love your photos!

as above my knowledge isnt that good with photos but:

- there all beautifull
- i disagree with people saying dust the piano , i think it shows some sort of contrast between old and new (thats my poetic side speaking)
-i loved the last one and how it sat just above the metal (broach?) and how they both became one... quite sad that it isnt a real flower though :(

keep on snapping pictures :D

These are beautiful photos Juniper! There are very soft, pretty and delicate in the rainy dew (there water droplets so I'm guessing...) I love how you involved the backgrounds, especially with the white flowers! There's a lot of (I know they're only flowers, but...) emotion in the photo titled alone.

I think it was very sweet of you to "give" each flower to someone on the site.

The only problematic thing I can find is, although already stated many times, the picture with rose on the piano. It seems dusty (the photo it's self... the dust on the piano is beautiful... you know what I mean :? ) The ideas behind it fantastic!

Please keep taking these beautiful photos! Congrats on a brilliant job!
I shall but love thee better after death.

Juniper, these are amazing photographs! Anyone can take a picture of a flower, but your photos are so original and beautiful. I look forward to seeing more of them :)

Juni!

I do have to say that these pictures are just amazing! I kept looking at them and thinking, "Wow, this whole time she's been asking to see my art, when I should have been asking for hers!" I also just couldn't wait to scroll down and see the next one! These flowers are absolutely beautiful! I don't even wanna give a negative review, so I won't! Anyways, awesome job!
