The 39th Scavenger Hunt had an overarching theme, Rose, and 10 other words to associate to it. I went for a very literal interpretation of that, got myself a rose bouquet (on discount because they were starting to fade quite a bit) and managed the whole Hunt in one (long) afternoon.
This was my entry for the word “Silhouette”, and it is both my favorite picture… and the one I spent the most time on 😉 (Coincidence? Probably not.) I wanted the rose bouquet to be recognizable as such; I wanted it to be reasonably “tidy”, I wanted the wooden support to have the “right” angles on each side, and I was working with a fairly narrow margin on my white wall. This is not PERFECT, but this is the closest I could get. Probably should have gotten a tripod out there 😉 (yeah, it’s a theme of this hunt.)
Here’s the original version, which DOES show the narrow margin on the background 😀 I’m quite happy I decided to process it in a pink hue, I think it worked really well.
