Tulip
by bwlchmawr
My son knocked off this flower-head whilst cutting up some Welsh slate with a disc tile cutter. The slurry from the machine covered the tulip. And I took this.

A quite remarkable and most unusual image, totally inspired capture, I can picture this at an exhibition, top shot Andrew

In a word: superb! And I should add, most suitably framed.

Thanks everyone. Spur of the moment shot, really. Roger, it does look like volcanic ash!
Of course, totally unrepeatable. The rain has washed away everyting since I took the shot...
Stuey, My son is building a 16mm garden railway and facing one of the "embankments" with slate as used on the Ffestiniog Railway in North Wales. It's slow, painstaking work, but he's getting there with some help from the man who mixes the mortar!

That sounds like an interesting project, I hope it rains less on your version than it does in Ffestiniog.
Just don't damage you shutter finger whilst mixing the mortar

Andrew I think this is an absolutely beautiful shot, one of your best yet.
I think it is worthy of more work on it, to give it a bit of a more textured feel, and then printed on an art paper it's an image I would put on my wall.

This is, I believe, probably the most beautiful image of yours I have seen (thus far!).
It bears all your hallmarks - ageing texture, great colour, lovely presentation & very good technique.
Thanks, once again, for sharing your vision with us all.
Roger.
