Flowers are the most popular source of inspiration in pretty much any artistic and creative endeavor. They are everywhere; yet they don't stop to amaze anybody who appreciates their intricate beauty. I stumbled upon this treasure on a morning walk. My original photo is this incredibly vivid cone flower. A real charmer. However, I find it so delightful in this black-and-white color scheme. It's like I can appreciate the shape and texture more when color is not at the forefront. And doesn't she look like a ballerina with her puffy skirt?
