I can see this hanging in the lobby of a grand old hotel (formerly a mansion belonging to a titan of industry from the 19th century) that caters to the elite of bird-watchers & botanists.
Looking at this emotionally is satisfying, for it transcends its own documentary qualities. The rich velvet shadows, the gentle yet intense light, the wonderful range of color. The clear detail. I'm pleased you did not fade the BG totally to black. And I like the square crop. Looking at it with the eyes of one who often shoots flowers, I can't figure out how you got the lily pad & the flower at right angles. Or so it seems. So, it's a visual pleasure & a brain-teaser at the same time. Excellent! |
