Description
3 beautiful bleeding heart blooms captured with a shallow depth of field. I have used effects and textures to create a painterly look to the photo. Here is just a little history and legend about the plant. First plants specimens were introduced into England in the 1840s from Japan by the Scottish botanist and plant hunter Robert Fortune.[3]
There is also a legend from Japan which tells a story of how the bleeding heart flower came to be.[4] In the story, a young man tried win the love of a young lady. He did this by giving a pair of rabbits (which are the first two petals of the flower), a pair of slippers (which are the next two petals of the flower), and finally a pair of earrings (which are the last two petals of the flower) to the girl. She continued to reject his affections, and, heart-broken, he pierced his heart with his sword (the middle part of the flower) which caused the bleeding heart.

I really love the way you can barely discern..if at all...whether this is a masterful photograph or just an absolutely gorgeous painting.
