Description - EFFLORESCENCE -

Look at all the small details that surround you.
Take witness to every detail and how every small detail gives a meaning to "life".
Look at the flower.
Take notice every small detail and how every detail in the flower gives each on it's own unique piece of life.

ef·flo·res·cence - n.
Botany. A state or time of flowering; anthesis.
1. A gradual process of unfolding or developing.
2. The highest point; the culmination.

[Must FULL-VIEW]
::

Without lifes small details, life is nothing. Everyday, it's all of the little things that make up who we are as living people. Human beings. The dew on the grass in the morning, the sun flare through the windshield, the tiny pebbles on the road, the old worn down posters on the telephone poles, the small details in life make up who we are. It's the difference of color in everyones hair, the way they talk, they way they move just a little differently, and yes, the way we all love to laugh. This is what this series (yes, a new series), made me think of. I went out and shot at this local flower shop for two hours for this series. I took many many many shots. Then, I started to notice every single tiny detal in all of the flowers. The colors, the textures, the hairs, the way they moved, the markings, and just the way they bloomed.
That is why this series is called "efflorescence". In celebration of life, the highest point, culmination, developing.

Celebrate all the small details in life, make life yours.

Enjoy.

OneBloomPhotography In reply to xenologics [2004-10-04 04:05:56 +0000 UTC]

lol, that is a very old shot!

Look at the date my friend!

I try to focus a lot on color and clarity in all my shots.

I've sold a bit on DA prints, more than it costs to get on...though it did take some time.

I'm sure your work would sell faster than mine.

I just don't have very much time to take pictures anymore. So...when I do, it's a rare thing...a retreat from the ordinary, creating something original and unique.

Thank you for the compliment...for my next shot, maybe I will create something just as colorful for you.

Lovely colors! The shine on the lower half looks a bit odd, but still okay, and the rest of the color and light effects in the picture practically makes up for it.

I know it does...but that wasn't really what I was focusing on...


That plant has really weird texture/oils.

Thanks!

I really wish I had your eye for photography, but then again I'm a novice at it and you've been doing it much more than I have...

Anyway, I really like the contrasting colors (and you'll have to forgive my critique if it's way off - my monitor is very dark and needs to be fixed (it can't be helped)) I think this is a pitcher plant, or at least that's how it looks for me, so I really like the feeling of it looking like a mouth, with a pinkish tongue and a throat... The dark background makes it look very nice and lets the green pop out, giving it a very nice feel

I really enjoy this. Will it be a print eventually?

Thank you very much.



Your seeing it all correctly. Sounds right.

Yup, it's a print, for sure.

Thanks a lot.

Pretty collors, but I'm not a big fan of the cropping, but besides that, I love the macro technique, and it's very well focused.
