h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

DG:

The textures in this photo make me want to touch those roses. I swear I can feel the velvetiness. Also, not seeing the colour makes your brain work overtime. This goes along with those strawberries.

I think this challenge is making me smarter.

Deep purple velvet? Lovely dark textures Sasha,I agree it's a very 'tactile' photo.

Thanks both I see the strawberries are here A87946663 - I'll have a look at them next

This was an interesting black and white experiment - the roses are a burgundy colour, but my camera struggles to see that sort of red, so they turned out a bit paler in photos than my eyes were expecting. In black and white, though, the tones are very pleasing!

Good point - things often look 'truer' in greyscale!

The bouquet gives me an exploding galaxy kind of feel. Just imagine it without the homely background setting and place it in space.

You know what. I'll give it a try and see what happens.

Love the textures. Classic combination of roses and gysophila (the white stuff)

"Classic combination of roses and gysophila "

Yes indeed - I like gypsophila very much, as it just adds the finishing touch to an arrangement, being delicate in texture and colour

Just posted the result to The Post.

Excellent!
