Here’s another view of the teacup filled with mini carnations. I was trying to do a take on the dinner plate art assignment for The Studio- where you artfully arrange food (or flowers, leaves etc.) on and around a dinner plate in an artful manner. Symmetry and precision have never been my strong suits, and I feel totally out of my element doing food photography- so I gave up after maybe 10 minutes. I put the dibs and dabs of leaves and flowers to the side and stuck with just the flowers in the cup- and one stray one on the saucer. I am in awe of those who create these beautiful tableaux- but it’s just not me.

Not all assignments speak to you and follow your heart it has the best of photography in there when something speaks to you, you know it in your heart. I do love how you have the stem laying across the saucer as it gives more visual interest and oh that focus perfect.
You did a great job with the flowers !
I’m not usually crazy about carnations but these are beautiful and perfect in your teacup.
So beautifully done, Melinda!
Your photos are so beautiful.
