Begonia

Today I spent some time taking pictures of a begonia. I wanted to recreate the photographic style of the late nineteen century. So I experimented with some edging but I did not like all the results. This edge, which looks a little like a typical watercolour paper is probably the best one. Tomorrow I'll try some other techniques.

    Very soothing. Just viewing it lowers the tension levels.

  3. Gorgeous, Mike. Late nineteenth - hmm - no antimacassar? aspidistra? ;-)
    (Woefully uneducated - any samples of this style you can point me to?)
