Still life image of a cup and saucer, complimented with flowers.

Continuing my series of Cup and Saucer, in the above image, I just wanted to create colour over the flowers…. and keep the primary image monochrome. Only in this image I removed the heart shaped candle.

Below is the processing technique I used.
