There aren't many flowers blooming here in New England in November, but these waxy little blooms are still alive in an urn outside the doors to our church. There was a stiff wind when I was trying to get a shot of them after Bible Babes, so it was tough to get a nice crisp focus. a funky combination of Flourescent Chalk, Posterize and Cutout allowed just the colors and shapes to dominate.
...is to fill 52 themes, one a week for the year. Some weeks, maybe I'll try to find several photos to fit the themes. Others, I may spend more time trying to perfect one that seems best to represent the theme. Three years of a photo-a-day opened my eyes, now I want to hone my skills.
Somehow, a camera allows me to see more deeply and awakens the eye. For me, undertaking these year-long challenges is a way to become more aware of the world that swirls around me.
The effect really brings the attention to the blooms and not it's surroundings, great effect for this image!
ReplyDeleteI like the stylized impression from your editing. It would look great printed on a large canvas.
