Floral Splendor Rhododendron by Jennie Marie Schell

Today's featured artwork, Floral Splendor Rhododendron, by Jennie Marie Schell is a lovely close up of a cluster of rhododendron flowers. This macro has great shades of pink, mauve, cream, and white. The photo is very powerful in intensity even though the colors and petals are delicate.  I think this would make a great greeting card.

Southern Bell by The Mears

Today's featured artwork is "Southern Bell" by The Mears at Imagekind. I don't recognize the flower, but I find the flowers including the one in focus to be stunning. The combination of creamy white and purple is very elegant and goes very well with the green leaves. The background is sufficiently blurred that the plant pops out at you giving the image more of a 3-D effect. Finally the dark purple lines in the main flower really draw the eye to a focal point so there isn't a problem with the detail in the rest of the plant.
