Carnation Refracted
The water drop clinging to a daisy petal refracts an image of the pink carnation in the background.

STORMY WEATHER (trees)
Glad I was already in my car before the heavens opened. It went incredibly dark, but it didn't last for very long, and the sun was soon out again.

LUCY IN THE SKY
I just messed about with the photograph of a luscious, large green tree against a nice blue background with the clouds, but I decided that was boring, so this is what I did to it.

INTENTIONAL CAMERA MOVEMENT OR INTENTIONAL BLUR
I'm going to be trying this again because I rather like the outcome of this on my lavender in the garden, which has finished for the summer now, so I couldn't go and do it again.

Great shot Nancy. Perfect clarity on that 'refracted' carnation. I really enjoy the minimal colors as well in this image, although I wish that little touch of blue in the bottom right wasn't there, doesn't ruin anything though.
Bravo ~
Thank you for looking and taking the time to comment. I went back and forth about that little blue corner. I finally left it in because the drop repeats that blue and without that corner, where did the blue come from? Maybe too literal? I will try it also w/o the blue corner, though.
I don't think you need to remove it, as you explained it, it does connect with the blue in the droplet. Actually, I am glad you have that blue there now, ha ha, like I said it certainly didn't ruin anything and for me I love this image just as it is.
A rare view, a creative and beautiful composition with a perfect pist processing. Thank you for sharing!
